Journal of Latin American Encounters (LAE)

Submission Guidelines

The Editorial Board is particularly interested in bilingual (English/Spanish) contributions that engage new, critical and provocative conceptual and ethnographic/empirical approaches.

LAE's Editorial Board asks that manuscripts be original, theoretically-informed and accessible to a broad readership. Manuscripts wil be accepted with the understanding that they have not been previously published. If the material has already been published or is to be published elsewhere, the author must inform the editorial board at the time of submission. Interested individuals are invited to send manuscripts via email to
