Overview The Society for Irish Latin American Studies is pleased to announce that the second SILAS conference will be held on 15-18 July 2009 at Morelia, Mexico. The conference will be organised by the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo and Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla, and will be joined by researchers, students and independent scholars to share their work on different aspects of Irish-Latin American relations. The first SILAS conference, 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 included perspectives on 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. Under the general title "Heroes, victims or villains? Irish Presentations and Representations in Latin America and the Caribbean", the second SILAS conference proposes to foster international and multidisciplinary approaches to the study of connections between Ireland, Latin America, the Caribbean and Iberia.
