A continental congress of the Latin American Studies Association
The Congress opens a venue for both intensive and extensive intellectual dialogue in the following tracks:
This track covers a wide range of topics related to trans-Pacific relations, including political, social, economic, business, and cultural dimensions. We particularly welcome scholarly research that focuses on the initiatives that seek to contribute to the search for long-term solutions to the world's most demanding problems, considering the shifts in political and economic power distribution that impact both Asia-Oceania and Latin America.
This track promotes comparative studies on these regions from diverse academic backgrounds, including political systems, economic models, governance structures, humanities in general, and related issues in Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. It encourages research on political processes, social movements, and civil society. The goal is to understand these regions' political, economic, and cultural landscapes and explore avenues for promoting democratic governance and human rights.
This track is open for scholarly works on a broader range of encounters and connections between Latin America, Asia, and Oceania by researchers in any field of humanities and social sciences. Additionally, the track welcomes research on educational exchanges and scientific collaborations between scholars and institutions in Asia, Oceania, and Latin America.
This track explores the movement of people between Asia, Oceania, and Latin America, focusing on migration patterns, the formation of diaspora communities, and transnationalism's cultural and economic impacts. It encourages research on migrants' experiences, migration policies, and diaspora communities' contributions to their home and host countries.
