Globalization, In/Security and Displacement
The NECLAS executive committee invites 2019 paper and panel proposals that foreground insight from Latin American and Latinx experiences on globalization, in/security and displacement. The topics and questions presented below interrogate Latin American and Latinx Studies exploring agency, scholarship and justice. Framing issues of Latinx and Latin American experience, they envision challenges, theorize peace, and conceptualize social justice within cultural and social transactions. Though priority will be given to proposals addressing issues related to globalization, in/security and displacement, NECLAS will continue to accept proposals on all relevant research related to Latin American and Latinx Studies. To submit a proposal addressing one question or a combination of questions, please fill out the submission form at Neclas_2019_Proposal_Form by March 22, 2019. If you have questions please contact .
