THE JOURNAL OF LATINO-LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES AT THE
OFFICE OF LATINO/LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT OMAHA
Call for Proposals
The Journal of Latino-Latin American Studies (JOLLAS) is soliciting proposals from individuals interested in serving as special issue editors. JOLLAS is an interdisciplinary, international, and peer-reviewed online journal housed within the Office of Latino-Latin American Studies (OLLAS) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It publishes quality scholarship from relevant academic disciplines as well as from practitioners in the private and public sectors. A variety of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches is
encouraged.
Special issue editor responsibilities include identifying an appropriate special issue theme and reviewing and securing appropriate article submissions. In addition to a balance of conceptual, empirical, and policy-oriented articles, JOLLAS issues typically include an introduction by the issue editors, which previews the manuscripts and explains how they connect to the general theme. A concluding piece recaps and suggests extensions of topics and perspectives discussed in the articles. Generally each special issue has 2-3 editors who work together to develop the issue. Recent special issue themes include issues affecting Latino labor and migration around the world from an interdisciplinary perspective and an examination of current Latino issues within international and intra-national contexts.
More information about the journal, including instructions for special issue editors and authors, is available at http://www.unomaha.edu/ollas/jollas.php
Special issue proposals should include the following:
Contact information, including phone, e-mail and postal addresses, of special issue
editors.
Qualifications of issue editors, including previous editorial experience.
1-2 page overview of the topic the issue will address.
A tentative table of contents showing the sections, proposed titles/topics within each section and potential authors (noting whether they have or have not already agreed to contribute)
Plans for inviting contributions (if applicable)
Questions and special issue proposals should be submitted to

AMBULANTE
BORDER SERIES
September 7-9, 2012
4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Institute of the Americas, UCSD campus, Hojel Hall of the Americas Auditorium See Directions
Freedom of Expression. Child Migration. Arms Trafficking and Gun Control Policy. Three of the most relevant issues affecting the bilateral relations between Mexico and its Central American and North American neighbors will be the subjects of this unique border series organized by Ambulante A.C., a non-profit organization founded in 2005 by actors Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna and Pablo Cruz.
On three consecutive evenings, the Institute of the Americas, in cooperation with Ambulante A.C., the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, the Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT), Delegacion de Playas de Tijuana, Centro Cultural La Raza, the Trans-Border Institute of San Diego, El Grafógrafo and Pasaje Rodríguez, will screen documentaries and host panel discussions. Experts will offer their views on these important issues, but we also welcome the public to take part in this program by offering differing perspectives and viewpoints during the discussions.
On Friday, Sept. 7, the Institute of the Americas will screen the documentary, “Tiroteo/Gun Fight,” directed by Barbara Kopple. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, “Arms Trafficking and Gun Control Policy Mexico –U.S.A.”
On Saturday, Sept. 8, the Institute will screen, “Reportero/Reporter,” directed by Bernardo Ruiz. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, “Freedom of Expression and Persecution of Journalists.”
On Sunday, Sept. 9, we will screen, “Vol Special/Special Flight,” directed by Fernand Melgar. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, “Child Migration and Detention Centers.”
The Ambulate Border Series takes place during a critical period following the presidential elections in Mexico and preceding the elections in the U.S. to encourage public discussion on these issues. According to government sources, eight of every 10 weapons seized from organized crime in Mexico come from the United States. The number of attacks on journalists in Mexico and Central America have increased and become more violent, with few measures being taken to guarantee their security and freedom to exercise their profession. And child migration is also on the rise and the conditions in detention centers are deteriorating.
Join us for the screenings and for these timely discussions.
