The Johns Hopkins Program in Latin American Studies was founded in 1989. For nearly thirty years, it was the home for the academic study of Latin America on the Homewood campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, the deans of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences supported a multi-year initiative led by a new cohort of junior faculty, Latin America in a Globalizing World. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the Program in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies was relaunched with a new cross-divisional faculty advisory board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latin America in a Globalizing World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Latin America in a Globalizing World (LAGW) was a three-year project, funded by a Dean\u2019s Interdisciplinary Project Grant, which brought together scholars of Latin America with area specialists working on other regions to examine Latin America\u2019s role in global economic processes, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The program ended in Spring 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The achievements of this project were three-fold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. to help (re)build a constituency for Latin American studies at Johns Hopkins, particularly among undergraduate and graduate students;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. to build links between junior scholars of Latin America and scholars working on related thematic topics from other geographic perspectives; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. to foster connections across disciplines and schools within the university.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
