The CLAS is excited to host a variety of event series, ranging from Seminars and Panel Discussions to Information Sessions and Activities. Our goal is to enrich students, community and our Center with a diverse perspective in Latin America, the Caribbean and its diasporas. For that, we welcome multiple scholars as well as faculty from Pitt and provide them platforms to trasmit their knowledges to others. We are also happy provide academic and cultural resources in events formats for a more interactive approach to students and all folks. You can find an introduction on our current events series below.
Any upcoming CLAS events (such as Club Activities, Lectures, etc.) can be found under
CLAS Events Calendar.
CLAS Cinema Film Series
Each year, the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) hosts a film series to promote the teaching and learning on Latin America, the Caribbean, and their diverse diasporic communities. The film screenings are free and open to the public!
Charlemos!
Hosted by the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Pittsburgh and the Political Institutions and Processes Section of the Latin American Studies Association. This is a virtual series to create a space for political scientists and other academics to discuss the critical social and political challenges facing Latin America today--including democratic backsliding, economic inequality, racial injustice, gender inequities, and a host of other issues. Please see this letter for more information on the series and about how to get involved. For questions, please email charlemos@pitt.edu
