The Conference
The Student Conference on Latin America, organized by the Institute of Latin American Studies Student Association (ILASSA) at the University of Texas, is an interdisciplinary forum for students involved in Latin American research topics. The conference provides students an opportunity to present research activities, develop presentational skills, exchange ideas and information, and meet other scholars of Latin American Studies. The Conference, now in its 19th year, is the oldest and largest student conference in the field of Latin American Studies.

Requirements
ILASSA invites students to submit for acceptance a single-page abstract of a paper focusing on any topic in Latin American Studies.

Final notices will be mailed by December 10, 1998 to accept or decline students' submissions for the conference. Students invited to participate will have until January 15, 1999 to submit final papers. All papers will be put on reserve at the Benson Latin American Collection for preview by students and faculty.
