The Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies has an array of resources available to faculty, students and educators. We have over 80 events annually, including lectures, workshops,
films, concerts and conferences. We seek to strengthen interdisciplinarity and develop more experiential learning opportunities that foster language development, regional
knowledge and to collaborate with professional schools. The Center's resources, available for check-out, are aquired and updated frequently.

In order to borrow materials from the Center, please follow the check-out instructions.

Additional Latin American area studies resources may be found in KU's Ermal Garinger Academic Resource Center (EGARC),
which promotes the learning and teaching of languages, cultures, and the humanities at the University of Kansas.
