The 38th Annual International Conference of SSPHS (the Society for
Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies) will be held on April
19-22, 2007 at Park Central Hotel in Miami Beach. Papers and sessions
on all subjects relating to the Spanish and Portuguese cultures around
the world from all periods are encouraged.
The Conference will open with a small reception on the evening of
Thursday, April 19. Over the course of the next days we anticipate that
over 100 papers will be delivered before an international audience of
about 150 scholars, academics, and experts in a wide range of fields.
Held in the historic city Miami Beach district, the official languages
of the Congress are Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
Proposals for papers and sessions are now being solicited. Proposals
for roundtable discussions of a topical work or theme are also welcome.
The typical panel will include three papers, each lasting twenty
minutes, a chair, and commentator.
Panel Proposals
should include a 200-word abstract for each paper and a
one-page curriculum vitae for each participant, including chairs and
commentators. Each
participant's name, e-mail and regular address, and
phone number should also be listed. Proposals for
individual papers not
yet linked to a panel are also being solicited for consideration.
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis as they are received. You
are encouraged to
submit no later than December 15, 2006.
You are encouraged to submit proposals by email as this is the quickest
