A regional symposium of the Latin American Studies Association
Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for LASA Central America 2026, taking place from August 4–7, 2026, as a fully hybrid Symposium.
When submitting proposals, please follow the three participation rules described below.
Participants are limited to one paper per Symposium, no exceptions. If a participant has submitted an individual proposal, she/he may not be added to a panel proposal. Additionally, if a participant is a co-author, that paper counts as the only paper.
Participants can only have four active participations per Symposium. Being an organizer or a contact person does not count towards these participations. The four active participations may take the form of:
Once the proposals have been approved, all accepted participants must register before June 16, 2026, to participate in the Symposium.
If the participant does not register by this deadline, they may be removed from the program. Additionally, sessions may be cancelled or changed due to insufficient paper presenters.
As a paper presenter, you must send your paper to the members of your panel, especially discussants, with enough time so that they can read it and make notes before the presentation, and to LASA Central America 2026 for the Symposium proceedings and memories. Proposals can be submitted and presented in English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese.
Your paper should not be considered published because it is posted on the event website.
