ConnLAP

As part of an on-going institutional rotation among its members, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UConn is currently coordinating the Connecticut Latin Americanist Partnership (ConnLAP). As a consortium of Connecticut-based academic centers and programs devoted to Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies, ConnLAP's mission is to foster inter-institutional collaboration among its faculty and students and provide a central site for the announcement of related events and initiatives among our members.

The 2009 ConnLAP Conference will be coming to UConn!
