Autumn Quarter CLAS Friday Lectures
The Center is pleased to invite the Stanford academic community to our Friday Lecture Series, an intellectual forum dedicated to examining the latest cultural, educational, artistic, and scientific advancements in Latin America. These lectures provide a valuable space for scholars, researchers, and students to engage with leading experts, fostering critical dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration. By exploring the region's diverse contributions, the series aims to deepen understanding and promote academic exchange across fields. We encourage all members of the Stanford community to attend and participate in these important discussions, held every Friday.
