Sections »
LASA sections provide networking opportunities all year round and have dues requirements to join. LASA sections have their own budgets, director boards and some provide awards and grants for the LASA congresses. For more information on sections, visit the link LASA Sections or contact the LASA sections coordinator.
The program tracks are LASA’s organized themes for congress proposals. Participants choose a track theme during the proposal submission process when submitting proposals. Each track has a chair responsible for reviewing the proposals for the conference. Visit the program tracks page to select the most appropriate one for your proposal.
You may add sections to your current membership online by following these steps:
Only section chairs can submit the section’s panels, workshops, roundtables, intersectional panels, reception, pre-conferences and special meetings.
Yes. The chair(s) of the section, as well as the participants, must have an active LASA and section membership until at least September 9, 2022. Click on the following link if you need to renew or extend your membership.
The Section Chairs submission instructions (PDF) on how to submit each type of session (panel, workshop, or roundtable) can be found in 4 languages at the following links: English, Español, Português, Français.
Intersectional panels are those in which more than one section participates. LASA2023 allows for up to three intersectional panels. If more than three are received, these will be evaluated by the Track Chairs.
If your section decides to host a reception or meeting at the official venue of the Congress, please request a meeting room for a Special Event. It is not necessary to request space for your Section Business Meeting as these have been automatically entered and scheduled by the LASA Secretariat.
