The Center for Latin American Studies

The Center for Latin American Studies fosters cross-disciplinary research on Latin America and the Caribbean while training and empowering the next generation of leaders, scholars and innovators capable of fostering the common good in their varied national contexts and throughout the hemisphere.

As the hub for teaching, research and dialogue about Latin America and the Caribbean at Georgetown University, we are dedicated to the cross-disciplinary study of Latin America’s diverse cultures, histories and political and economic processes. We advance dialogue on pressing issues by drawing on the richness of linguistic, cultural and artistic expression in the Americas.
