Founded in 1961, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program (LACS) is an interdisciplinary area studies program for Cornell students, faculty, staff, community members, and academic visitors with interests in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Get involved by attending our regular events: weekly seminars run by our graduate fellows, scholar talks, workshops, symposia, conferences, and an annual visiting lecture. We also offer Latin American studies minors for undergraduates and for graduate students and a new Caribbean studies minor launched in fall 2025.
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program (LACS) is pleased to invite graduate students to apply to become a LACS Graduate Fellow for AY 2025-2026.
