Tulane University Latin Americanists participate in LASA 2019

The 2019 International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, from Thursday, May 24 until Monday, May 27, 2019. The Latin American Studies Association (LASA) is the world’s premier forum for expert discussion on Latin America and the Caribbean. LASA is the one association that brings together experts on Latin America from all disciplines and diverse occupational endeavors across the globe. The 2019 conference Nuestra América: Justice and Inclusion strives to invoke and expand the message of José Martí’s essay Nuestra América (1891) to promote a hemispheric vision of justice and inclusion. This year’s theme is of particular importance during an era when global politics is too often built around walls and securing borders and not on fostering social justice and democracy.
We are proud to support the Tulane University professors, graduate students, and affiliates who will be presenting at this year’s conference. View the entire program here. Do not forget to keep up-to-date on the conference using the hashtag #LASA2019.
