At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

9th Annual Stony Brook Graduate Conference on Latin America

1810-2010: Two Hundred Years of Postcolonial Futures
Keynote Speaker: Fernando Coronil, CUNY Graduate Center

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center at SUNY Stony Brook invites presentation proposal for its ninth annual graduate student conference to be held on Friday, April 9, 2010 at Stony Brook Manhattan. Using the theme, “1810-2010: Two Hundred Years of Postcolonial Futures,” the conference seeks to use the bicentennial of numerous Latin American independence movements to examine and debate the degrees of rupture and continuity in the region’s two centuries of post colonialism.

By stimulating cross-disciplinary discussions, the conference invites graduate students to examine and transcend the boundaries of the own academic fields. The multi-disciplinary nature of this conference also provides an opportunity for graduate students to interact with other scholars outside their traditional fields of study and academic specialties.

Presentation proposals should be 200 to 300 words in length, in either Spanish or English, and should include a cover page with name, academic affiliation and contact information. Panel proposals and alternative, non-paper presentations will also be given consideration.

Please submit proposals electronically to sbulaccgrad@yahoo.com

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 1, 2009
