Technical Writing in the Americas: Ending and Starting a New Millenium
The 4th Congress of the Americas
September 29-October 2, 1999
Universidad de las Americas
Cholula/Puebla, Mexico

The Latin American Congress of the Popular Culture Association/American
Culture Association is currently seeking proposals for presentations on
International Issues in Technical Writing. We are especially interested in
papers on issues that affect tech writing and trade between the US and
Mexico or other Latin American countries, but any international issues will
be considered as well. Presentations can be in either English or Spanish.

The University of the Americas is in a beautiful, smog-free mountain valley
near Puebla, Mexicos third largest city and one of the wealthiest areas in
the country. Cholula, the "sacred city," has a long history of occupation
beginning in 1400 B.C., and was one of the most important regional centers
in Meso-America. UDLA is Mexico's finest private university. The students
and faculty generally speak English and are most cooperative and gracious
to visitors. The locals in Puebla, the site of Mexico's Volkswagen plant,
are also most welcoming. The food, especially the "comida tipica," is
something you will long remember. There are many interesting tourist
sights both in Puebla and within a short drive of the city. Tours are
planned.

Conference participants generally stay in one of three of Puebla's finest
hotels. Rates for hotels, meals and transportation are exceptionally low
in this area.

To submit a presentation, send a proposal of not more than 500 words, and a
one hundred word abstract to:

Dr. Michael Gos
Department of English and Communications
Lee College
PO Box 818
Baytown, TX 77522

Proposal deadline is May 30, 1999.
