The first issue of Colonia/Colônia, the newsletter of the Colonial Section of LASA, is available since February 2013.

The Colonial Section of the Latin American Studies Association was formed in the fall of 2012 by over 80 scholars in the United States and abroad. The Section seeks to be a forum where those who study the colonial period in Latin American can come together across disciplinary boundaries to share information, exchange ideas and increase the visibility of our work within both LASA and the academic community at large.
We invite all those who support this initiative to join LASA and the Colonial Section at http://lasa.international.pitt.edu. We also encourage scholars of the colonial world to contribute to this quarterly newsletter by sending calls for papers, publication announcements, news of interest and other materials to lasacolonial@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions to the May 2013 issue of Colonia/Colônia is April 15.
