Outreach
Alberto Simpser moderates a Latin American Briefing Series public lecture on "The Militarization of US Foreign Relations with Latin America" by Lisa Haugaard, Executive Director of the Latin American Working Group, Joy Olson, Executive Director of the Washington Office on Latin America, and Adam Isacson, Program Director at the Center for International Policy.
The Center for Latin American Studies engages in an active Outreach Program in order to expand the impact of Latin Americanist resources developed at the University of Chicago. Through public lectures, teacher training workshops, and other events, CLAS works to promote broad public awareness and understanding of Latin America. The CLAS Latin American
Briefing Series brings academic and policy experts and influential
business and political leaders together at the University of Chicago to
address important contemporary issues in Latin America. Our Latin
American Briefing Series has generated enormous interest and garnered
international acclaim as an innovative public education program. The
series is supported by a Department of Education National Resource
Center grant, and by the Center for Latin American Studies Corporate
Partners Program. Lectures in the CLAS Latin American Briefing Series
are video recorded and re-broadcast for on-demand viewing in our Events
Archive that can be accessed through our website. Click here to visit the archive.
