We are interested in receiving proposals from a wide range of research directions relevant to Latin America, the Caribbean and Latino Studies. We hope to initiate a meaningful and long-lasting dialogue that will encourage further conversations within the UMass community and with other institutions. Fifteen to twenty minute papers may be presented in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French.
Please send 200-word abstracts to las@econs.umass.edu. Please, on a separate page, include your name, the title of your paper, your department affiliation, phone number, email address, postal address, and a brief biography. Deadline for submissions is March 14, 2005.
We also encourage graduate students to propose entire 90-minute sessions with three to four presenters from different disciplines/department affiliations.
