Cornell’s Latin American Studies Program affirms our commitment to the values of racial equality and social justice as articulated by Vice Provost for International Affairs Wendy Wolford and the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. We stand in solidarity with those who work to end police violence and dismantle structures of racial and ethnic inequality in the U.S. and around the world. We are committed to the development of academic programming that helps students, faculty, and community members better understand the historical origins and contemporary manifestations of the institutions and social structures that subjugate peoples of African and indigenous descent in the Americas, and we support those who use this learning to make a more just world possible.
