This year the annual Society for Latin American Studies conference will cross the water to welcome its participants in Amsterdam in April 2020. This border-crossing endeavor sets the symbolic tone for two days of in-depth discussion on connectivity in Latin American Studies, both within and across regions, disciplines, and political divides. The Centre for Latin American Research and Documentation (CEDLA) of the University of Amsterdam is delighted to invite proposals for the conference, to take place on Friday 17 April and Saturday 18 April in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Conference theme

In line with previous conferences, SLAS2020 will be an opportunity for explorations of any aspect of Latin American Studies, from any disciplinary and theoretical perspective. We have an optional conference theme that speakers are invited to address, which is:   Mind the gap: Strengthening connections in Latin American Studies

Submissions for individual papers, panels, dialogues & roundtables

We invite proposals for individual papers and panel sessions on diverse interpretations of the conference theme, and in relation to all areas of Latin American Studies.

Presentations will take place in sessions of 1 hour and 45 minutes, shared amongst 3-5 presenters and chaired either by a presenter or a moderator. We especially encourage pre-constituted panels and other forms of collaborative exchange (see below). Conveners of pre-constituted sessions should coordinate their session to allow time for discussion, limiting individual contributions to 15-20 minutes.

​All proposals must be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

​New extended deadline for all individual papers, pre-arranged panels and other sessions is: 15 October 2019

By 10 November you will be informed of your acceptance and receive instructions to complete registration.
