>The V Congress of the Americas
>18 to 21 October 2001, Cholula/Puebla, Mexico
>
>The Congress of the Americas is in its fifth year, hence
>the title V Congress.  We study popular culture in its
>diverse forms and do not put a barrier on what might be
>included at the meeting.  The more international the
>perspective the better, but national studies are fine.
>Politics, music, movies, religion, material culture,
>cross-border themes are all invited as are anthropological
>and sociological studies. Nowadays, we are also
>concerned about pedagogy, especially distance learning
>and the Internet classroom.
>
>Scholars attending include Ray and Pat Browne, Douglas
>Noverr, Peter and Susan Rollins, Gary and Nan Edgerton,
>Bernardo Attias, Joseph A. Stout, Jr., Gary Hoppenstand,
>John Bratzel, Michael K. Schoenecke, Tony Giffone,
>Elizabeth Fine, David Sokol, and Ken Dvorak.  Host
>scholars include Paul Rich and Antonio Lara.
>
>The web site has programs from past congresses and
>these details should clarify what we do and how we do it.
>Our Area Chairs are listed there; contact the one who
>seems best related to your field of interest and work with
>the Area Chair to find a compatible panel for your
>presentation.
>
>These meetings are friendly, inclusive, and supportive.
>They take place in an environment which is safe, colorful,
>and there are many opportunities to enjoy the people,
>foods, local sites.  Tours will be available and there are
>over 365 churches in the Puebla-Cholula area!
>
>All of the sessions take place on the campus of the
>Universidad de las Americas (UDLA), a wonderful school
>which looks like a campus of the California State
>University system--Long Beach State, for example.  The
>faculty, students, and staff want to make the visitors feel
>at home, so there will be receptions, musical events, and
>banquets included in the registration fee of $120.
