The Council on Latin America and Iberian Studies Graduate Student Affiliates program seeks to strengthen exchange and innovation in the graduate student community through supporting academic research and social gatherings. The mission is to foster an engaging, interdisciplinary community of students working in fields related to Latin America or Iberia. The network includes students from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences as well as the professional schools, including the Jackson School of Global Affairs, the School of the Environment, the School of Management, the School of Drama, and the Divinity School. Many of the affiliates are conducting interdisciplinary research and pursuing degrees in departments such as the Music, Political Science, History, Anthropology, and Spanish & Portuguese.
Through the support of the network, graduate students may apply to receive research funds to travel throughout Latin America and Iberia.
Beyond the social aspects of being a part of a close-knit community and the funding opportunities it provides, the network also offers a variety of opportunities, including occasions to meet and work with affiliated faculty and prominent visitors, such as scholars and politicians from throughout Latin America and the Iberian peninsula. Through the support of reading groups and colloquia series, the network is also an important resource for students to learn more about each other’s research and interests.
