The Folk Research Centre and the Harold Simmons Folk Academy, organiser of the 7th Saint Lucia Studies Conference to be held from the 20 to 22 June, 2018, invites persons interested in presenting papers to apply as follows. The Conference seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers in the areas of Saint Lucian life and culture to present their findings in a Saint Lucian setting. In response to the call for papers, persons are free to submit proposals on any subjects related to life and culture of Saint Lucia.

We also invite persons to propose panels and/or create panels to form part of the conference. Researchers would come up with panel ideas, find other researchers doing similar work and propose complete panels. Of course, this must be done early to facilitate logistical planning.
