PILAS Conference 2009 - Thank You!

A report of PILAS activities conducted during 2008-2009, including the 2009 PILAS Conference held at the University of Cambridge, can be accessed in both the ‘PILAS Committee’ and ‘Annual Conference’ sections of this website. Thank you to all conference participants, SLAS, and the Cambridge University community for making PILAS 2009 such a success!


Regional Representatives

PILAS is working towards introducing a “Regional Representative” scheme. Regional reps will act as affiliates to the PILAS Committee, and will assist in PILAS publicity as well as organise one PILAS-related event within their region during the academic year, such as a postgraduate seminar or training workshop. Please write to the PILAS email account regarding any inquiries (pilasconference@gmail.com).


PILAS on the JISCMail mailing list

We are revising the PILAS account on the JISCMail mailing list! (Accessible at: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=pilas). JISCMail allows PILAS members to post information about events, conferences, or publications which would be of interest to fellow Latin-Americanist postgraduates. We encourage all PILAS members to sign-up and use this fantastic resource!

Further information is available in the ‘Contact Information’ section of this website.
