The Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies
(CALACS) will hold its next annual meeting at the University of
Calgary, September 28-30, 2006.
As part of a special initiative to increase participation by
Caribbeanists, this year CALACS will offer some travel support for

given to graduate students and Caribbean based scholars.
