Student Discussion in Class

Latin American Studies

Latin America is one of the world's major regions, given its rich history (and prehistory), long literary tradition, multiple cultures, and complex political and economic systems.

It is a key place for understanding contemporary issues of migration, borders, development and sustainability, and power hierarchies, especially given the multiple ties binding the region to the U.S.

Student organizations like OLAS foster and maintain a spirit of solidarity among students interested in Latin American and Latino cultures.
