Extended Deadline: Monday, May 10, 2021

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program (LACS) is pleased to invite graduate students to apply to become a LACS Graduate Fellow for AY 2021-2022. The Graduate Fellowships are competitive and provide an opportunity for a select number of graduate students to engage with a broad, interdisciplinary community dedicated to the study of Latin America and/or the Caribbean. Request an application at lacs@cornell.edu. 

Graduate Fellows will be expected to actively participate in the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program’s activities. Responsibilities include attending and shaping the seminar series—with an eye toward a number of themes around which the series might be structured—and organizing at least one event that promotes interactions between undergraduate and graduate students via Cornell’s Zoom platform (or if permitted by the university in FA21 & SP22, an in-person event on campus). Applicant Grad students should send LACS an attached 1) application (Word doc), 2) copy of a CV, 3) a letter of recommendation from the chair of your committee, and 4) a brief abstract of current research by email to LACS Program Manager, by the deadline of Monday, May 10 by 11:59pm at: lacs@cornell.edu.
