Caribbean scholars are invited to submit proposals, either for

Conference Registration and Events
On site registration for the conference will begin on Sunday,
May 27th. The opening session and continuing conference sessions will
be held from Monday, May 28 through Friday, June 1st. The Program
Committee intends to include interaction with and participation from
scholars and students in St. Martin. Therefore, we are developing some
sessions that may occur off-site from the conference center. The
conference will also include a trip to Anguilla on Friday, June 1st,
that will provide an opportunity for scholars to meet with government
officials to discuss matters of importance to the Caribbean from the
perspective of government.
