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.
