2016 X Sesquiannual Conference – Tulane

The SALSA X Sesquiannual Conference was held at Tulane University (New Orleans) with William Balée (Tulane University), Jeffrey Ehrenreich (University of New Orleans), and Lauren Dodaro (Tulane University) responsible for general conference organization, and Laura Zanotti (Purdue University) responsible for the academic program. We had a wonderful conference to prepare for as SALSA celebrates its 15th anniversary.

We were honored to announce the new Steven Lee Rubenstein Memorial Scholarship that will support travel to SALSA conferences.

Conference events were primarily in Dinwiddie Hall, home of the Department of Anthropology and the Middle American Research Institute, on Tulane’s campus.

Conference Highlights

William Balée (Professor, Anthropology, Tulane University) delivered the keynote lecture “On Amazonian diversity, or old wine in new bottles”

The plenary dinner took place in the 1834 room in the LBC (student center of Tulane’s uptown campus).

We continued Conversations in the Lobby, an event also in Steven Rubenstein’s memory, On engagement with peers’ work, organized by Carlos David Londoño Sulkin.
