Dear Colombia Section members, Below please find a message from the Colombian Working Group at UC Berkeley. I've participated in some of their activities and can vouch for them -- they are serious organizers with lots of energy and good ideas. Please contact the people mentioned below with questions. Leah Carroll Dear all, The Colombia Working Group at Berkeley would like to extend an invitation to a professor or lecturer to come to the University of California at Berkeley to lead a seminar or lecture series on Colombia, preferably on current issues. Due to the recent cancellation of two professors, this opportunity is available for this coming Spring semester and there is great flexibility in the way the course can be designed; we could even consider a four- or eight-week series instead of a semester long course. In Spring 2001, the Colombia Working Group organized a conference in Berkeley called "Colombia in Context", sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies. Over 350 people attended this conference. Speakers included Catherine LeGrand, Eduardo Pizarro, Ana Maria Bejarano, Bruce Bagley, Juan Gabriel Tokatlian, Roberto Steiner, Mauricio Cardenas and Andrew Miller (for more information on the conference please visit the site at: http://socrates.berkeley.edu:7001/colombia/index.html) As a result of this conference, the International and Area Studies Program provided the possibility for us to bring a "colombianista" as a visiting professor/scholar for a semester. We understand it is extremely late to be extending this invitation, but the circumstances force us to provide such a short notice. However, if you decide to take on this opportunity, you would enjoy a vibrant and beautiful campus, the interest of many undergraduate and graduate students who have no other options in terms of courses on Colombia, and a highly involved and interdisciplinary faculty affiliated to the Latin American Studies program. Should you be interested in pursuing this offer please contact Alejandra Torres or Andres Alvarado at (510) 526-4949, or by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best regards, THE COLOMBIA WORKING GROUP ------------- -- Leah Carroll Vice Chair, Colombia Section of the Latin American Studies Association 301C Campbell Hall #2922 U.C.
