[Bigdatasur] Latin American Studies Association Conference - Barcelona?

[Anita Say Chan]

Hi All: Congratulations again to all for such an energetic preconference
workshop!

Since the wrapping up the event, a few of us discussed pulling together a
similar set of panels for next year's Latin American Studies Association
(LASA) Conference in Barcelona from May 23-26, 2018 (
https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/congress/) with Stefania and
Emiliano again.

LASA is - for the 1st time - hosting a new section on Social Research in
the Era of Analytics and Big Data, which makes it especially friendly to
our pre-conference papers. It's also the 1st time that LASA will be held in
a site other than North or South America. You can see the Call for Papers
here
<https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/congress/files/CallforPapers.pdf>.

Depending on interest, we could organize up to 3 of these panels, with up
to 5 papers in each. If you'd be interested in joining a table, you'd be
welcome to resubmit your updated proposal from Cartagena, or an entirely
different one would also be welcome. We'd just ask that you:

   - simply indicate interest to Stefania, Emiliano and myself by *Tues.,
   Aug. 22*
   - send us your paper title and an abstract (under 250 words) by *Wed.,
   Aug. 30*
   - make sure you become a LASA member by Aug. 30 (membership rates are
   scaled starting at $38 for students, $45 for Latin American residents,
   etc.) if you are not a member of LASA already. LASA's submission system
   <https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/congress/proposalguidelines.asp>
won't
   let you be added to a panel unless you are an active member. See fees
   here <https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/membership/costs.asp>.
   - LASA also accepts applications for travel grants
   <https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/eng/congress/travelgrants-main.asp> --
   which are due on *Sept. 7*.

Feel free to let me, Stefania and Emiliano know if you have any other
queries.

Hoping this finds everyone well, and hoping to see you all in Barcelona!

Hola a todxs!
Felicitaciones de nuevo a todos por la fantástica pre-conferencia 'Big Data
from the South' en Colombia!

Despues del evento, algunos de nosotros discutimos re-organizar un juego de
paneles similares para el proximo Congreso de la Asociación de Estudios
Latinoamericanos (LASA) en Barcelona del 23 al 26 de mayo de 2018 (
https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/esp/congress/) con Stefania y Emiliano
nuevamente.

LASA es, por primera vez ese ano, el anfitrión de una nueva sección sobre
la Investigación Social en la era de Analytics y Big Data - lo que hace que
sea especialmente amable para nuestros papeles de la conferencia en
Cartagena. Es también la primera vez que LASA se llevará a cabo en un sitio
que no sea el Norte o Sudamérica. Puedes ver la llamada para los papeles
aquí
<https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/esp/congress/files/CallforPapers.pdf>.

Dependiendo del interés, podríamos organizar hasta 3 paneles, con hasta 5
presentaciones en cada uno. Si estás interesado en unirse a una mesa,
estarías bienvenido para volver a presentar su propuesta actualizada de
Cartagena, o proponer un papel totalmente diferente. Simplemente te pedimos
que:

   - indiques tu interés en participar a Stefania, Emiliano y yo antes del*
   martes, el 22 de agosto.*
   - envíes el título de tu paper y un resumen/abstract (de menos de 250
   palabras) antes del *miércoles 30 de agosto. *
   - te inscribas como miembro de LASA antes del *30 de agosto* (las tasas
   de membresía se escalan a partir de $38 para estudiantes, $45 para
   residentes de América Latina, etc.) si es que ya no eres un miembro de
   LASA. El sistema de presentación de LASA no nos permitirá agregar a un
   panel a menos que seas un miembro activo/a. Vea las tarifas aquí
   <https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/esp/membership/costs.asp>.
   - LASA también acepta solicitudes para becas de viaje
   <https://lasa.international.pitt.edu/esp/congress/travelgrants-main.asp> -
   con una fecha de entrega del *7 de septiembre*.

Siéntanse libres de contactar con nosotros (Stefania, Emiliano y yo) si
tienen alguna pregunta o duda. Esperando que este correo encuentre a todxs
bien, y esperando verles a todxs en Barcelona!
