high ranking journals. The scholars will discuss the main challenges and
opportunities for research in the Latin American and Caribbean region. The round
table will feature senior scholars such as Steffan Boehm (University of Exeter),
Punit Arora (City University of New York), Tricia Olsen (University of Minnesota)
and Jorge Rivera (George Washington University). - Q&A/Networking: The audience will have an opportunity to directly ask questions
