The period to present proposals for LASA 2012 closed on April 1, 201. If you would like to participate in the LASA 2013 Congress, the date to begin submitting papers is June 15th 2012, and the deadline is September 1st, 2012.

The following changes are allowed:
Send your changes to lasacong@pitt.edu no later than February 7, 2012.
All applicants receiving grants were already notified. No more applications for grants will be accepted for LASA 2012.
English, Spanish or Portuguese are the official languages of the Congress. Please free to write or present your papers in any of these languages.
The length of a session is usually 105 minutes. Please plan to have 12.5 to 15 minutes per presentation (Please adjust the recommended time according to the number of presentations).
LASA’s policy is to allow as many participants as possible to present at the Congress. In addition, due to the size of the Congress we must limit the number of proposal submissions and participants.
Participants who received a LASA grant needs to email their final papers to lasacong@pitt.edu by April 1st, 2012. All other participants need to email their final paper by May 1, 2012. Papers will be posted to the website at this time.
As part of LASA’s standard procedures, all papers need to be submitted to LASA Secretariat by the due date. However, if a paper will be published at a later date as part of a dissertation, the presenter can include in the email a note requesting the paper not to be published. LASA will then proceed to acknowledge the submission but will not publish the paper on the website.
Participants are not required to bring hard copies of their papers; instead they need to send a final copy of their paper via email to lasacong@pitt.edu - PDF or Microsoft Word format.
LASA will be providing laptops, LCD projectors and screens in each conference room. Any additional equipment will be the responsibility of the presenter. As an additional note, internet access will not be available in the meeting rooms.
If for any reason you cannot attend, please inform the Secretariat no later than March 26, 2012. Registration fees will not be refunded.
Any presenters who no longer have a panel after March 23rd, 2012 will be sent to the Program Chairs. The Program Chairs will make their best effort to allocate the solo presenters into panels based on similar topics. The members of the new panels will be notified of their reassignments by April 15th, 2012.
