Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the President and the Organizing Committee of the 54 International Congress of Americanists (Vienna, July 15-20, 2012), it is our pleasure to remind you that the Call for Symposia will be open until December 15, 2010.

We have already received a considerable number of promising proposals, which indicate that the 54 ICA will be an intellectually challenging and inspiring interdisciplinary event. We would therefore like to invite you once again to spread word about the congress in your scientific communities and, if you have not done so yet, propose a symposium yourself. Let us also remind you that symposia composed of and/or headed by colleagues from different regions are particularly welcome.

Please find the First Newsletter of the 54 ICA with all the relevant dates, deadlines and information in the last published item. For current updates, please consult our website http://ica2012.univie.ac.at.

With best regards,

The Organizing Committee of the 54 ICA
