Marta, apply to this the Graduate Student Research Conference on Latin America and the Caribbean. It is only a grad conference and you'll feel bad when the time comes and you haven't applied and you realize that your abstract would have totally have gotten in. Don't delay, do it now.
2008 marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of York University's Centre for
Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC), Canada's oldest and
largest research group on the region. As part of a year-long series of events to
mark this achievement, CERLAC is hosting a Graduate Student Research Conference on Latin America and the Caribbean on November 7th and 8th, 2008, at York University in Toronto.
In recognizing the strength of diversity, papers and presentation proposals are
welcome on any aspect of study of Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole
and/or its constituent parts. We particularly seek, however, to attract
those contributors whose work can open fruitful dialogues and exchange across
disciplines. Consistent with CERLAC's long-standing spirit and practice of
collaboration, graduate students from other institutions are also invited to
submit abstracts to the conference and to share in this celebration of graduate
student scholarship.
Since its founding in 1978, the academic and institutional reputation of CERLAC and York University’s diverse graduate programs have attracted many students from Canada and abroad. This conference represents an outstanding opportunity to recognize, explore and build upon the work of the current generation of graduate students in all disciplines, including (but not limited to) the social sciences, humanities, fine arts, environmental studies, law and business.
