a roundtable discussion

The Observatory on Latin America (OLA) regrets to announce that, due to political problems in Latin America and difficulties in US-Latin American relations which have affected the schedules of various Latin American presidents, the Forum of Presidents on Food, Energy, and Social Justice will not be held as scheduled on September 22, 2008 at The New School. We are hopeful that there will be an opportunity in the near future to hold a discussion at the presidential level on this important topic.
 
Given the growing sense of crisis in the region over the past month, the OLA has decided to hold a roundtable discussion on National and International Obstacles to the Quest for Social Justice in Latin America on September 22 from 6 to 7:30pm at the New School in the Lang Student Center at 55 West 13th Street.

Participants in this discussion will include Professor Jordi Borja from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain, Professor Greg Grandin, Department of History, New York University, Professor Michael Cohen, director of the graduate program in International Affairs, The New School, and other well-known figures from Latin America and the United States to be announced.

RSVPs should be sent to the OLA at OLA@newschool.edu.
