 The
Program
in Latin American Studies (PLAS) promotes the interdisciplinary
study of the cultures, socioeconomic conditions, politics
and societies of Latin America and the Caribbean. PLAS
offers courses through the following cooperating departments:
anthropology, art and archaeology, ecology and evolutionary
ecology, economics, French and Italian, history, politics,
sociology, and Spanish and Portuguese Languages and
Cultures, and through the Program in Latin American
Studies. The program awards an undergraduate certificate
in partnership with an academic department, offers competitive
undergraduate research grants, and supports student
internships throughout the region. Although there is
no graduate degree program in Latin American Studies,
graduate students participate actively in the program’s
wide-ranging public lectures, conferences and cultural
activities. Additionally, PLAS offers small grants on
a competitive basis to qualified students for field
research in Latin America and the Caribbean related
to their graduate studies, and supports scholarly meetings
organized by affiliated graduate students.
