Core Faculty
Unlike most other Latin American Studies programs that consist almost entirely of affiliated faculty based in other departments, our program includes seven core faculty, giving the program focus and coherence. While most of our over 120 associated faculty are based in other departments, a consistent group actively participates in advising LAS students and serving on LAS committees.
