LACLAS at Skidmore

The Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies Program (LACLAS) at Skidmore College seeks to create an intellectual community in which: i) students acquire a well-rounded knowledge of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx communities and their geographies, histories, and cultures, ii) students learn to develop questions and think critically about the issues that such communities face from an interdisciplinary perspective, and iii) students, faculty, and staff interested in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Latinx U.S. come together to learn from each other, build community, and promote a feeling of belonging.
