First Conference on Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean ERIP conference links: Individual papers and organized panel proposals were invited for the First Conference on Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean , May 22-24 2008 , at the University of California , San Diego . The event was organized and sponsored by ERIP (LASA Section on Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples), CILAS-UCSD (Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies, University of California , San Diego ) and LACES (Latin American and Caribbean Ethnic Studies , journal published by Taylor & Francis). Panel and individual paper topics relating to all aspects of ethnicity, race relations, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants and other ethnic or racial groups in Latin America and the Caribbean were welcome. Scholars and practitioners in all humanities and social science disciplines with an interest in these areas of research were encouraged to participate. The program featured about a dozen panels, organized into four sessions beginning on Thursday, May 22 in the afternoon and continuing through the afternoon of Saturday, May 24. On the first day there was a welcome lunch and a reception and keynote speaker in the evening. The second day's program included lunch and a closing panel with participation of distinguished scholars in the afternoon. Submissions of pre-organized panels were strongly encouraged and were given preference in the selection process. Individual papers were also welcome and were assigned by the ERIP Conference Program Committee to an appropriate panel with a chair and a discussant. Those wishing to organize panels were encouraged to contact the ERIP Conference Program ( eripprog@dss.ucsd.edu ) for assistance in developing ideas for panels, recruiting participants, etc. We also welcomed interested colleagues and students who wished to attend without fulfilling any formal role as panel organizers or paper presenters in a panel (see the Registration/Pre-registration Form for information). There was a great deal of interest in periodically organizing a conference on these areas of research since the establishment of the section on Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples at LASA (Latin American Studies Association) and the launching of the journal Latin American and Caribbean Ethnic Studies (published by Taylor & Francis). Two academic centers offered to sponsor and host the first two conferences: the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies at the University of California , San Diego (2008) and the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Pittsburgh (2010). Due to this high level of interest, and the fact that the total number of participants was limited due to space and time constraints, we encouraged all who hoped to attend to consider working with colleagues to arrange a pre-organized panel. Due to space limitations, we had to close registration when capacity was reached, and thus, non-presenting attendees were urged to pre-register to ensure that their place is reserved. Submission of Proposals The conference included panels, proposed and organized by CILAS-UCSD, on indigenous peoples and natural resources (land, water, trees and forests, herbs, oil, natural gas, and other resources). We encouraged other institutions such as regional or country-focused scholarly associations and university departments, to propose "sponsored panels" organized by the institution, involving their members and receiving their imprimatur.
