The Latin American Studies Association (LASA) is facing and learning, as an organization, to manage the global public crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. LASA is responding to this crisis by opening a new dialog format. The current health situation demands new answers and that we positively redress adverse situations. This is a unique opportunity to try new formats and create scenarios allowing us to preserve our ties and provide new opportunities for people to meet and rethink the societies we live in, in a collective, empathetic, and supportive manner.
Thus, it will not be possible to celebrate our LASA2020 Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, as all the people who worked so hard in the preparation of this event would have wanted. Nevertheless, the Congress will take place virtually on the same dates, May 13 to 16.
LASA profoundly regrets the difficult situation that COVID-19 has caused all around the world and we would like to send our warmest thoughts of support and solidarity to all those who have been affected.
The Congress will be held from May 13th – May 16th, 2020.
English, Spanish, French and Portuguese are the official languages of the Congress.
The program tracks are the thematic areas in which the sessions of each Congress are grouped. You must select a program track to submit your proposal.
Individuals can participate in the Congress with the following roles: paper presenter, presenter without paper, chair, discussant and organizer. You are also welcome to just attend the Congress.
