About CALACS Conferences
CALACS Conferences are held every 18 months. They showcase the research and the activities of our members and invited guests. The Conferences, like CALACS itself, are interdisciplinary and open to papers and panels in many fields, covering diverse issues, of importance to the region. As well as tracks related to the theme of the conference, there are generally many other tracks defined according to contemporary categories of research, and all are invited to present work on any aspect of Latin American scholarship. Panels are particularly encouraged, but individual papers will be considered as well.
