Nuestra América: Justice and Inclusion
The LASA2019 Congress was held in Boston, United States, from May 24 to 27, 2019. The event was a great opportunity for thousands of academics, scholars, and students to get together and share their knowledge about Latin American studies.
We were honored to welcome 5,621 registered participants, 4,772 presenters with some role during the Congress (84.9%), and 849 people who attended without any role. Out of the 5,621 registered participants, 28.1% were students and 2,988 (71.9%) were nonstudents.
