Network for Indigenous Mexican Studies (NIMS)

Dear Colleagues

I am very pleased to announce that the Network for Indigenous Mexican Studies (NIMS) was launched yesterday, during the Annual Conference of the Society for Latin-American Studies (SLAS), in Sheffield.

The Network for Indigenous Mexican Studies is hosted by the University of Sheffield and aims to bring together academics from across the disciples with a shared interest in the indigenous cultures of Mexico. We hope to facilitate interdisciplinary research and promote a respect and appreciation of these cultures, both ancient and modern. I am very proud to be one of the founding members of NIMS.

We welcome interested colleagues from all disciplines.

Please check our website (http://www.nims.group.shef.ac.uk/) and, if you tweet, than follow us @mexicanstudies.

I would appreciate very much if you forward this information to anybody you think may be interested.

Kind regards

Ines
