Submission Rules

Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for LASA2026: Republic and Revolution, taking place from May 26–30, 2026. When submitting proposals, please follow the participation rules described below:


Rule 1: Participation Limitation

  • Participants are limited to one paper per Congress, no exceptions. Participants who have submitted an individual proposal may not be added to a panel proposal. Additionally, if a participant is a co-author, that paper counts as their only paper.

  • Participants are limited to four active roles per Congress. Being an organizer or a contact person does not count toward these roles. The four active roles may take the form of:

Paper presenter (in a panel)

Presenter without paper (in a roundtable)

Presenter without paper (in a workshop)

Presenter without a paper (in a book presentation)

Discussant (in a panel, workshop, or roundtable)

Chair (in a panel, workshop, or roundtable)

Travel Grantee

  • Panel proposals must include a minimum of three and a maximum of five papers. Workshop and roundtable proposals must have at least three participants, with no maximum. 

  • Panels, workshops, and roundtables should have at least one session organizer (maximum two), and one chair (maximum two). The discussant is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Only one discussant is allowed.

  • The rules for Section sessions are the same as for regular sessions.

Travel Grants

  • LASA Travel Grants provide support for participants traveling to the Congress city. Therefore, only those attending LASA2026 in-person, in Paris, France are eligible to receive the discretionary travel grant. 

  • Travel grant requests can only be sent by the participant requesting the grant and can only be given to individuals who have a paper accepted in the Congress. 

  • Participants who received a travel grant at the LASA2023, LASA2024, or LASA2025 Congresses are not eligible to apply for a grant at the LASA2026 Congress.


Rule 2: Membership or All Access Requirement

The following rules relate specifically to the type of submission proposal:

  • Individual submissions: To submit a proposal and travel grant request, the LASA membership or All Access (membership + congress registration with discount) of the individual submitter and each co-author must expire after September 9, 2025. Each co-author must submit a separate travel grant request.

  • Panel submissions: To be included in the proposal, the LASA membership or All Access (membership + congress registration with discount) of all participants in the panel must expire after September 9, 2025. All panelists, as LASA members, can submit their individual travel grant requests.

  • Workshop or Roundtable submissions: To be included in the proposal, the LASA membership or All Access (membership + congress registration with discount) of all participants must expire September 9, 2025. No workshop or roundtable participants may request a travel grant unless they also have a paper in the Congress.

  • Section submissions: All participants must have LASA memberships or All Access subscriptions (membership + congress registration with discount) that expire after September 9, 2025. They  must also be current members of the specific section in which they intend to participate. All paper presenters in a Section session, as LASA members, can submit their individual travel grant requests.

Please do not wait until the deadline to become a member, renew your membership, or submit a proposal.


Rule 3: Congress Registration or All Access Requirement

Once proposals have been approved, all participants are required to have their Congress registration or All Access subscription (membership + congress registration with discount), valid until May 30, 2026 to participate.

Congress registration or All Access renewal must take place before March 6, 2026, at 17:00 hrs ET. If the participant does not register for the Congress or renew All Access by this deadline, they may be removed from the program. Additionally, sessions may be cancelled or changed due to insufficient paper presenters.


Rule 4: Paper Delivery

As a paper presenter, you have two important obligations:

  1. To ensure that the members of your panel, especially discussants, receive your paper in time to read it carefully prior to the meeting.

  2. To submit your paper for the Congress proceedings and memories. Note: Your paper should not be considered published because it is posted on the LASA website.


Rule 5: Congress Schedule

The sessions will be scheduled between the morning of Tuesday, May 26, until the end of the day on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Participants are expected to be available to present during this time. Please note that scheduling change requests cannot be honored.
