Passing this on to members as requested.
Hello Amanda,
>From your past messages about ICS conferences to the Carib-territories
mailing list run by my IWC colleague Bruce Potter, I thought you (and
members of the Society for Caribbean Studies) might be interested in the
Islands of the World VI conference we are holding on the Isle of Skye 16
- 20 October 2000. Full background details about this event can be found
on our website but the provisional list of sessions and delegates is
detailed below. Many of these sessions are nearly full so if you, or any
others, might be interested in attending and/or presenting a paper then
let me know asap.
Best regards,
Graeme Robertson
Secretary
