APRIL 7-9, 2022 (Hybrid event)
Note: All events are hybrid, to register and program information, click "HERE".
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) as part of the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at the University of Pittsburgh welcomes faculty and students to the Latin American Social and Public Policy Conference. For 25 years we have welcomed researchers from around the world to Pittsburgh, creating spaces where the scientific community can discuss the past, present, and future of Latin America, the Caribbean, and its Diasporas. Though this is always important, it seems even more crucial these days.
LASPP conference participants, authors, and presenters will benefit from CLAS' extensive international network and in-house scholars, to collect insightful feedback benefitting from top researchers in Latin American Studies. As a way to lower barriers for scientific exchange, papers may be presented in English, Spanish, and/or Portuguese.
For in-person participants, lunch will be provided.
