to the Joint Conference of the

(XXVIII Annual Congress)
and the
Canadian Association for Mexican Studies (CAMS)
(Third International Congress)
March 19-22, 1998
Simon Fraser University
Burnaby, British Columbia
Canada
The 1998 Joint Conference of CALACS and CAMS invites proposals for papers and panels in all areas of Latin American and Caribbean scholarship. The conference will bring together academics, students, public officials, media, business people, and NGO personnel from Canada and other countries, and is open to the general public. Participation from Latin America and the Caribbean is particularly welcome. The conference will take place on the campus of Simon Fraser University, in Burnaby, British Columbia, in the Vancouver metropolitan area.
CONFERENCE THEME: "Latin America: Moving Beyond Neoliberalism." Papers are invited in all areas relevant to the understanding of historical and contemporary Latin America and the Caribbean. The conference organizers especially invite papers and panels that reflect on the social, cultural and economic transitions within Latin America and the Caribbean as the region moves beyond the immediate changes wrought by neoliberalism. This includes studies of historical and comparative parallels.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: Proposals for papers and panels should be submitted in two copies, one to the most appropriate Section Head and one to the Program Coordinator at Simon Fraser University (see addresses below). NOTE: If two or more Section Heads seem appropriate to the topic of your proposal, send the proposal to only one of them. If no Section Head seems appropriate, send the two copies of your proposal to the Program Coordinator.
PANELS: The program committee strongly encourages proposals for complete panels. Panel sessions should be planned to last one and a half hours and consist of a chairperson, 3 to 4 presenters, and a discussant (one individual may serve in two roles). Please use the attached form (or submit the same information appropriately structured). Send in two copies of your proposal, one to the most appropriate Section Head and one to the Program Coordinator.
PAPERS: Please use the attached form, including all the requested information. Send in two copies of your complete proposal, one to the most appropriate Section Head and one to the Program Coordinator.
