The 2016 annual meeting in Santa Fe, N.M. had 74 panels with 269 participants. RMCLAS encourages participants from a variety of fields, “including, but not limited to Anthropology, Archaeology, Art History, Cultural Studies, Economics, Environmental Studies, Ethnomusicology, Film Studies, Gender Studies, History, Linguistics, Literature, Political Science, and Sociology.” Although nominally a regional meeting, participants came from universities all over the U.S., as well as some from Mexico, Canada, and Europe.http://rmclas.org The wide geographical draw of the meeting is of long standing.Hayes, “The Rocky Mountain Council for Latin American Studies”, p. 163 Meetings have been held in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah.
