Organization of American States Leo S. Rowe Pan American Fund
Interest Free Student Loans
Do you want additional financing for your studies at a United States University? Are you a citizen of a member state of the OAS? If so, the Rowe Fund Student Loan Program helps citizens from Latin America and Caribbean OAS Member States finance their studies in universities across the United States by awarding interest free loans.
Applications are accepted and reviewed year-round. The loans are also available for university faculty and professionals with the support of the local university in the member state for continuing education or professional development courses in the United States.
The studies or research must last for one academic semester and all studies and research, for which the loan is granted, need to be completed within a two year period. These loans are made on the understanding that when the recipients have completed their studies, they are to return to their respective home countries to assist in their countries’ economic development and social integration. For more information see our brochure (available online at http://www.oas.org/rowe/brochure.pdf); to download the application forms, please visit our webpage at www.oas.org/rowe or contact us at rowefund@oas.org.
Organizational Leadership
Organizing a Brown Chapter of The International Humanitarian Foundation
Are you
looking for leadership experience in the developing world?
Rebecca Meyers, a Brown anthropology PhD student, is looking for students who are interested in helping start a campus organization that will be affiliated with The International Humanitarian Foundation. The Brown chapter will partner with developing world communities to help them meet their most pressing needs. The partner they have selected is SYJAC, an organization based in Chiapas in southern Mexico that works with indigenous families to support education, health, and infrastructure initiatives.
Everyone who's interested is invited. Spanish skills are helpful but not necessary.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain leadership experience supporting an important cause and gain first-hand experience with international development. Please contact Rebecca Meyers (rebecca_meyers@brown.edu) or Dan Galemba (daniel.galemba@dartmouth.edu) for more information, or consult the following websites:

Call For Papers
Second Brown CLAS Graduate Student Conference
"Re-figuring Latin America"
April 28, 2008
The Center for Latin American Studies at Brown University is proud to announce its second annual Graduate Student Conference. This one-day conference will take place at the Watson Institute for International Studies on April 28, 2008.
From literary journeys to identity formation, and from economic inequalities to democratic consolidation, the history of Latin America is full of puzzling and unexpected dynamics that often challenge existing theoretical frameworks. New theoretical perspectives are required to understand both the common trends that bring together these countries as well as the specificities that make Latin America a vibrant and diverse region. The Second CLAS Graduate Conference seeks an interdisciplinary discussion aimed at promoting new approximations to the complex realities and the social imaginaries of Latin America. We are looking for contributions of the graduate student community around four broad areas: social and political change, the nexus between history and fiction, movements and identity, and economic challenges and development. Papers will be presented in panels around the common themes, although contributions in other areas are also welcomed.
Papers should have not yet been presented at any other event of the Watson Institute for International Studies. Abstracts of 200-250 words are DUE BY MARCH 20, 2008. Please send abstracts to Felipe Valencia (felipe_valencia@brown.edu).
