40^th Anniversary Conference

Photo Album

The Center for Latin American Studies celebrated its 40^th anniversary during academic year 2004-05.  As one of the premier centers for the study of Latin America and the Caribbean , CLAS has had a long-term and academically critical impact on research and training in Latin American Studies—nationally and internationally. 

A high point of activities came in early December 2004 with the anniversary conference—Forty Years of Excellence in Training and Scholarship in Latin American Studies, 1964-2004—held on December 3 and 4.  The conference presented information on current research and approaches to training in several areas of Latin American Studies in which the University of Pittsburgh has been a leader over a number of years—Latin American Archeology, Latin American Social and Public Policy, Latin American History, and Latin American Cultural Studies.  Participants included distinguished alumni, prominent faculty, and current students.  For a conference program, please click here.
