The United States southwest has been and will remain the scene of the greatest contact between Hispanic and Anglo cultures. The region's long Hispanic heritage has helped create a prominent role for scholars of languages, history, and cultures, and for that reason SCOLAS enjoys one of the largest bases for any regional Latin American conference in the United States.

SCOLAS is an interdisciplinary organization that encourages diverse panels, methods, and interests. We welcome participation by any scholars dealing with Latin American-related issues, including studies of immigration, transnationalism, and U.S. Hispanic culture.

SCOLAS has strong participation from both the United States and Mexico, giving it a bilingual atmosphere especially attractive for Latin American scholars.

SCOLAS hosts annual conferences in Mexico and the southwestern United States. Previous conference sites include San Antonio, New Orleans, Morelia, Santa Fe, MTrida, and Monterrey. These conferences offer stimulating panels, opportunities to meet other scholars, field trips to places of historical and cultural importance, and prizes for books, articles, and graduate students.

Participation in SCOLAS is a lifetime investment in your career. It helps you to make friendships and professional contacts among your peers at other institutions, and enhances visibility for yourself and your university.
