The Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA) will hold its Ninth International Conference March 27-30, 2008. Hosted by Tulane University in a culturally vibrant and civically rebounding New Orleans, the Conference program will include panel presentations, special guest lectures, workshops, plenary meetings, and cultural activities in the evening.
For the Ninth International BRASA Conference the Executive Committee has adopted the following norms for organizing panels and the presentation of papers:
1. All panel proposals and papers must be submitted directly to the program committee via the BRASA website (beginning March 15, 2007). The program committee will not consider any submissions not received via the Conference's official website, http://www.brasa.org/.
2. All panel participants must be members of BRASA. Membership forms may be downloaded from the BRASA website. Each participant may present just one paper, and also chair a session or serve as a commentator.
3. BRASA recommends that panels have no more than four papers and be chaired by a scholar who is not presenting a paper. Each 105-minute session should allow at least 30 minutes for general discussion or analysis by a discussant following the presentations.
4. The conference will have 8 sessions with 15 panels per session, over two days, for a total of 120 panels.
5. For questions, persons interested in organizing panels should contact the BRASA Secretariat or the program committee (listed below). Those with suggestions for other possible events or presentations should contact Marshall C. Eakin, Executive Director of BRASA at .
6. The program committee will give preference in accepting proposals to those who submit complete panels that are composed of scholars from different universities and that have an interdisciplinary focus. Each paper proposal should be accompanied by a one- to two-page summary CV and 150-word abstract of the paper.
7. Deadlines for submission and approval of panel proposals are as follows: May 15, 2007 is the deadline for submission of complete panel proposals to the program committee via the BRASA website. The program committee will make its final decisions by September 15, 2007, and the Secretariat will send letters of acceptance to panelists during the last two weeks of September 2007.
