Overview

The second SILAS conference was held on 15-18 July 2009 in Morelia, Mexico. It was organised by SILAS together with the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, and was joined by researchers, students and independent scholars to share their work on different aspects of Irish-Latin American relations.

Under the general title "Heroes, victims or villains?
