For over 25 years, we have welcomed researchers from around the world to discuss socail and public policy in Pittsburgh. Creating spaces where the scientific community can discuss the past, present, and future of Latin America, Caribbean, and its Diasporas is always important; it seems even more crucial these days.
During the LASPP conference participants will benefit from CLAS' extensive interntional nertwork and in-house scholars. This assures that authors and presenters collect insightful feedback benefitting from top researchers in Latin American Studies. Moreover, in order to become ever more inclusive and lower barriers for scientific exchange, papers may be presented in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
