Summer Graduating Students
Very Important Notice
In order to have the Latin American Studies certificate/related concentration recorded on the transcripts of students who finish the program, the University requires each student to complete a Certificate Graduation Application. This application is separate from and in addition to the form that you will complete for your departmental degree.
DEADLINE: Students graduating in August 2013 have an extended deadline of Noon on Wednesday, May 29, 2013 to complete a CLAS Certificate Graduation Application without paying a late fee.
Attention undergraduates: please remember to submit 2 research papers/projects that clearly demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Latin American issues in at least two different academic disciplines. These papers may be assignments that are submitted as part of your coursework, such as final term papers reflecting a significant command of the subject. If a research paper is completed that is clearly interdisciplinary in nature that may be considered instead. Works may be submitted at any point but must be submitted to CLAS no later than the last semester before graduation.
Late applications are accepted after the deadline but the University will impose a late fee. The amount of the fee increases with the delay in submission.
Please see Julian Asenjo (4207 Posvar Hall) for an application or drop by our offices (4200 Posvar Hall) to pick one up.

SALISES, UWI, Mona Conference: "Rethinking Regionalism: Beyond the CARICOM Integration Project"
July 2013 marks 40 years of the CARICOM regional integration project from its origins in CARIFTA. The world has changed dramatically during this time, presenting more complex challenges for development; reshaping the integration project along with the perceptions of the movement, both in terms of its capabilities and limitations; and reshaping the Latin America and Caribbean regional landscape, reconfiguring existing organisations/institutions and creating new ones. These developments raise questions as to the very viability of the CARICOM project and its relevance in its current form to the varied complex developments that have taken place since its launch. Despite these developments, some aspects of the regional experience remain unchanged. Chief of these is the continued existence of a large number of non-independent or sub-state entities for which regional projects throughout the Caribbean and Latin America have not offered a viable solution; and the persistence of questions of viability of the independent Caribbean in light of their economic, social, political and environmental challenges. This conference seeks to engage colleagues in a sweeping review of the region writ large, reflected in the themes set out below which go beyond the CARCOM project and which also take account of how the complex problems of the contemporary reality are likely to shape CARICOM in the future. The conference also invites consideration of other integration schemes in other parts of the world as a basis for comparison and lesson learning.
Abstracts of approximately 150 words should be sent to Nadine Newman at SALISES at salisesintegrationconf@gmail.com. Deadline for receipt of abstracts is June 30, 2013. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by July 15, 2013. Details of the venue and conference website (http://salises.mona.uwi.edu/Integration/callforpapers.html) will be announced in due course.
Dates: October 7-9, 2013

Cultural Event
An evening with Brazilian pianist & composer André Mehmari, with a guest appearance by Kenia
By adding the rhythms of his native Brazil to the realms of jazz and classical music, Mehmari has created a language of tremendous expressive power. Both a keyboard virtuoso and a skilled composer, Mehmari roams from the tender and romantic to the hard-driving and dramatic, speaking clearly and profoundly in a luminous instrumental voice. In short, he is a fluent jazz improvisor, an imaginative composer, a virtuoso pianist, a dynamic Brazilian, and someone who loves to make his piano sing, all wrapped into one.
