Since its founding in
1981 at Florida State University, the Southeast/Caribbean Section
(SEMSEC) will meet for the first time in the Caribbean region. The Dominican
Academy of Sciences (Academia de Ciencias de la República Dominicana)
will host the 2012 annual meeting from March 9-11. The program chair
is SEMSEC vice president Rebecca Sager, and the local arrangements
chair is Martha Ellen Davis, coordinator of the Social Science
Commission of the Academia de Ciencias. It
is appropriate that the members not acquainted with the Caribbean or
Latin America begin in Santo Domingo, capital of the first colony in the
New World. The Academia is located on Calle Las Damas, the oldest
street of this first colony. The colonial zone of Santo Domingo and
environs offer many options for lodging, eating, and live musical
performance, from merengue to “son” to Latin jazz and more. Local
musicians, musicologists, and students will be incorporated into the
program. The
dates selected fall at the end of some major universities’ spring
breaks and at the beginning of others’, such that attendees can come
prior to or stay following the meeting. Options for educational and
cultural travel will be made available. Check for more information on September 1. |
