CLALSIS

Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies Internal Speaker Series 

The Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies Internal Speaker (CLALSIS) Series is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of research about Latin American and Latinx cultures conducted by the faculty, advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars of the University of Pennsylvania. CLALSIS talks are designed for our scholars to share their work at any stage of the research process, from works-in-progress to new book publications. The CLALSIS Series has several objectives. Presenters can receive constructive feedback on their ongoing research from colleagues in their discipline and other fields. Early career scholars and junior and senior faculty alike can share their research with the Penn community. In turn, members of the Penn community get to learn about and from the eminent scholarship of colleagues and advanced students on campus. Additionally, the interactions taking place in CLALSIS events will solidify an interdisciplinary community with interests in Latin America and Latinx cultures at Penn. We hope that such interactions facilitate future collaborations in teaching and research.
