Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies CLALSIS
Call for Applications 2024-2025
Are you interested in presenting your research-in-progress / advanced-dissertation-research on Latin America or Latinxs at the CLALS Internal Speaker (CLALSIS) Series next year? CLALS-affiliated faculty and advanced graduate students are invited to appy!
The Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies Internal Speaker (CLALSIS) Series is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of research about Latin America or Latinxs conducted by the faculty and advanced graduate students of the University of Pennsylvania. The (CLALSIS) Series has four main objectives. First, presenters receive constructive feedback on their on-going research from colleagues in their discipline and other fields. Second, the members of the Penn community learn about and from the eminent scholarship of colleagues and students on campus. Third, the interactions taking place in CLALSIS solidify an interdisciplinary community with interests in Latin America and Latinxs at Penn. Fourth, such interactions facilitate future collaborations in teaching and research. Upcoming and past CLALSIS talks can be seen here.
We encourage a paper/chapter to be circulated a week prior to the talk, but this is not a requirement. CLALSIS presentations generally occur on the first Friday of the month.
If you are interested in presenting, please email CLALS Associate Director Cathy Bartch at clals-upenn@sas.upenn.edu.
The online application will ask you to provide the following information:
· Your departmental affiliation and rank (graduate students, please indicate year in the Ph.D/MA program),
· Tentative title for your presentation (in the case of graduate students we prefer chapters or papers that are part of the dissertation)
· Your top two or three dates (ranked from most to least preferred)
