Panels, Papers, Posters
Presenters may propose individual panels, papers or posters. Proposals on all subjects related to the section’s mission and areas of interest in Latin American and Caribbean studies are welcome.
In particular, the 2015 conference seeks to foster reflections on the involvement of people of indigenous and African descent in migrations, the circulation of ideas and practices, and the exchange of resources and commodities in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the challenges and opportunities posed to the heritage and development of these communities.
