Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS)

Explore Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx cultures, histories, and social change

LACS courses explore Latin American, Caribbean and Latinx identities and communities through rich traditions of world-class literature, visual arts, sports, and music.

LACS electives analyze social problems, political struggles and economic relations of our southern neighbours, which are becoming even more significant in new geopolitical contexts. With guidance from 18 faculty members associated with LACS, students can pursue a wide range of research topics.
