Meeting Description:

Founded in 1980, the Spanish in the US Conference brings together researchers
from various disciplines, such as linguistics, sociology, anthropology,
education, and legal studies, investigating a wide range of topics related to
Spanish and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Since 1991, the
Spanish in the US Conference has been held in conjunction with the Spanish in
Contact with Other Languages Conference, allowing productive connections
between researchers focusing on the US context and researchers investigating
the entire Spanish-speaking world. In recent years, interest and participation
have increased dramatically, thanks to both the growing public and scholarly
recognition of Spanish-speaking communities in the United States.

The theme of this years SiUS conference is ''Contact, Community,
Connections''.
