The Connacht Tribune (Galway), 29 June 2007

The first conference of the Society for Irish Latin American Studies, Adventurers, Emissaries and Settlers: Ireland and Latin America was held on 27-30 June 2007 in Galway. The conference was the first of its kind, and attracted scholars, students and independent researchers of Ireland-Latin America relations. Papers included various aspects of the multitudinous connections between Latin America and Ireland mainly in history and literature. The SILAS conference took place concurrently and in conjunction with the Fifth Galway Conference on Colonialism.

SILAS is extremely grateful to the Centre for Irish Studies at NUI Galway, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, the Brazilian Embassy to Ireland, and Smurfit Kappa plc for their support of the conference.

Organisers: Oliver Marshall and Claire Healy.
