Call for Papers

Main Themes

Three main themes will guide the event:

Toponymy and education;
Indigenous and minority Toponymy;
Toponymy in maps.

However, contributions on other themes may be accepted. The regional focus of the Symposium will be on the Americas, but also contributions focusing on countries, regions and places on other continents may be presented, since they may very well provide for stimulating comparisons.
