Here is the print-version of the 35th Annual CSA Programme (there will obviously be a few changes between now and May, so keep an eye out for the information sheets in the conference bags and on noticeboards once you get to the conference site). A few things to note:

(1) This year we have added an excel file with an alphabetical list of everyone who is presenting, and their date, time and place of presentation (please note all Panels titled ‘J’ are in the film and performance track). This will make it easier for you to go directly to specific sections of the programme.

(3) There is a separate file that lists the plenaries, workshops, literary salon, and the film and performance track.

(4) There will be two CSA tours that leave the hotel on Thursday:
The Barbados Museum
Coastal and Marine Environmental Excursion
There will be one CSA tour that leaves the hotel on Friday:
Harrison’s Caves Tour
To sign up for any of these tours, please contact Dr. Wendy Grenade of the Local Organizing Committee. There is limited space so sign up early! You will be expected to pay for the trip within the first two days of the Conference at the registration desk in the Conference Annex, or your spot will be cancelled.

(5) On Thursday, the UNIFEM Office for Barbados and the OECS, in conjunction with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Jamaica, is hosting a one day GENDER WORKSHOP on ‘Women, Memory, Politics and Violence in the Caribbean’, that is linked to Friday’s final plenary.
To register for this workshop, please contact Kimberlyn Campbell, Administrative Assistant, FES Jamaica, phone (876) 960-6580. fax (876) 960-7297, e-mail to "FES-Ja" fes@cwjamaica.com. Registration must be received by Tuesday, May 25th and must include your name, institutional affiliation, contact telephone or/and e-mail, and indicate whether you will be a guest at Almond Beach Hotel for the week of the CSA Conference. There are limited spaces for the workshop, so register early!!

If you have not yet registered for the conference, we advise you to do so via the website, and also make your booking at the hotel (remember it is US$135 for a single room, $200 for a double and goes up from there, and is all inclusive. You can download the form from the website. Please also remember that we get a number of donated rooms depending on how many are booked, and this helps us to provide accommodation for participants who would otherwise not be able to attend).

We look forward to welcoming you to a great conference and exciting conversations in Barbados. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Grateful respect to Nadir Sharif (Bucknell University) for handling the website and uploading all of our material, and to Shannon Black (University of Toronto), Assistant to the Program Chair, who put in tons of hours (not to mention patiently enduring endless revisions) to help get us here. Immense thanks to Diana Thorburn (University of the West Indies, Mona) for so generously sharing her files and past experience as CSA Program Chair 2009. Patricia Mohammed, Jocelyne Guibault and Gabrielle Hosein co-ordinated the film and performance track. Appreciation to Christian Campbell (University of Toronto), Linden Lewis (Bucknell University), Melanie Newton (University of Toronto), Patricia Saunders (University of Miami) and Nicholas Watts (London Metropolitan University) for their invaluable assistance sorting submissions into panels and translating. A truly transnational endeavour! And finally thanks to all of you for your submissions, which have made this such a rich and excellent programme.


Sincerely,
