[Bigdatasur] last chance: join the #bigdatasur follow-up in Barcelona!

[Jean Marie chenou]

Hi everyone,

Thanks Anita for the initiative!

Carolina and I would be interested in presenting an revised version of the paper that I presented in Cartagena. I attach the abstract (in Spanish and English). We are both members of LASA.

Please let us know if you need anything else from us.

Best,

Jean-Marie

Hello #bigdatasur friends!

Thanks to the inspiration and initiative of Anita (Say Chan), Emiliano and I have joined Anita to out together a panel (or 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/). See below the invitation Anita sent around a few days ago. As the deadline is drawing near, but many of us are still on holiday or returning to the office these days, here we are with a reminder.

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>.

At the moment we are looking into organizing one or perhaps two 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:

  *   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.
Please fell free to extend the invitation to any potentially interested colleague, and do contact any of us if you have any other queries.

We hope to continue the conversation in Barcelona!
Anita, Emiliano y Stefania
