We welcome the submission of proposals for papers or panels in all areas of intellectual inquiry relevant to an understanding of the history, economics, politics, culture, society, and creative expressions of Cuba or its diaspora. We are especially interested in the presentation of research that will further our understanding of many aspects of the Republic that have thus far received little attention from scholars. As we have in the past, we strive to have all disciplines represented at the conference. Comparative studies that place Cuba in the context of other Latin American and Caribbean countries are also encouraged. A series of cultural activities is planned, especially for the conference's evening hours.
Suggestions are welcome.
Guidelines for presenting panels and papers Although we accept abstracts for individual papers, we strongly encourage the presentation of panels and roundtables. Panels should include no more than 5 and no less than 4 paper presentations and a chair, who may be one of the presenters. Submissions may be in English or Spanish. Proposals for panels or roundtables should include a general description of the unifying theme and one-page abstracts of the papers by each of the participants. As much information as possible should be submitted about the participants, including their full name, academic affiliation, preferred addresses, office and home phone numbers, fax and e-mail address.
