AHGBI Annual Conference 2017
All AHGBI members, especially Lusitanists, PGRs and ECRs, are warmly invited to propose the delivery of a paper and/or the organisation of a panel. Funding for PGRs/ECRs to subsidise the costs of travel to the annual AHGBI conference is available in the form of competitive awards overseen by Dr Tom Whittaker.
It is only possible for non-members of AHGBI to speak at the Cardiff conference in the following circumstances: (a) In any pre-formed panel, the convenor may include one speaker who is not a member of AHGBI and will then justify that decision in the panel proposal. Subject to AHGBI Executive Committee approval in October 2016, the invited speaker will be required to register for the conference at a higher non-member’s rate; (b) Members of the Red Europea de Asociaciones de Hispanistas (REAH) are encouraged to participate as speakers but they will also be required to pay the higher registration rate. In addition, as there will not be more than one non-member speaker in any panel, these places are limited and allocation is again at the discretion of the AHGBI Executive Committee.
Proposals in the form of an abstract of up to 200 words are invited for individual papers of 20-30 minutes on any area of research relating to Iberian and Latin American Studies. Please note that conference panels typically consist of four speakers who are each allocated a 20-minute slot. In panels made up of three speakers the maximum slot allocated is 30 minutes.
Proposals are invited from AHGBI members for panels, consisting of either three papers of 25-30 minutes or four papers of 20 minutes, on any area of research relating to Iberian and Latin American Studies which is not already covered by the thematic strands listed above.
