GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SESSION PROPOSALS AND INDIVIDUAL PAPER PROPO=
SALS
Sessions and papers may be in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Provide
sessions and paper titles in the language in which they will be prese=
nted.
Indicate clearly the track for which the session or paper should be
considered. Be sure to indicate surname(s) for indexing purposes. Ses=
sion
organizers must also list participants in the expected order of appea=
rance.
All addresses must be current and complete. Incomplete proposals will=
not be
accepted, and inclusion in the program of any given proposal cannot b=
e
guaranteed. To emphasize: EVERY BLANK ON THE FORMS MUST BE FILLED OUT=
; IF
INFORMATION HAS TO BE LOOKED UP BY THE PROGRAM STAFF TO COMPLETE THE =
FORM
THE PROPOSAL WILL BE NULL AND VOID.
TRAVEL AND JUNIOR LECTURER GRANTS
Although LASA continues its commitment to fund as many non-U.S. parti=
cipants
as possible, and funds many more such participants than other area st=
udies
associations, funds are always in short supply. LASA expects to fund =
fewer
than 20 percent of the travel grant requests it receives. ACCEPTANCE =
OF A
PAPER OR PANEL OR AN INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUN=
DING.
Thus, participants are strongly urged to seek other sources of funds =
when
applying through LASA. At any rate, no more than one participant per =
panel
can possibly be awarded travel funding. Junior Lectureship applicants=
are
required to fill out both sets of travel grant applications.=20
Failure to accurately fill out every blank on the form or to type or =
print
clearly, will invalidate a travel application.
ALL PROPOSALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEADLINE OF NOVEMBER 1, 1997
