Welcome to LAS at UofT

I am delighted to be acting director of the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Toronto for the academic year 2011-2012. We will continue to build on and contribute to foster a campus-wide enthusiasm and love for Latin America, its geography, its history, its culture and its people.

We will remain engaged in ongoing consultations and collaborative work across our vibrant community to promote, among other things, interdisciplinary workshops and renewed partnerships with leading academic institutions in Latin America and across the world, and to encourage new and existing ties with local, provincial, and national communities.

I look forward to continue strengthening LAS@UofT as a vital hub of knowledge about the region in Canada. We have an exciting array of events planned for this coming academic year and we are certainly hoping that you will join us.

Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! Bem-vindos!
