Dear colleagues!

I would like to invite you to a (follow-up) roundtable on Andean Studies at the University of Stirling on Saturday, 14 June (depending on the number of participants, also the 15 June).

This informal meeting is meant to be a (re-)connecting point to present our studies, talk about our interests and exchange information about our research. Brief, 15-minute presentations should leave us enough time to talk and discuss the topics.

Deadline: Confirmation of participation, and presentation topic with a brief abstract (100-200 words) by 25 April 2014.

The participation is free (but refreshments and lunch have to be paid for by the participants).

I would be grateful if you could send this message on to anyone who might be interested.
