Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS)
WELCOME
LACS is Stony Brook’s center devoted to the study of Latin America, the Caribbean, and their diasporas in the U.S. and elsewhere. We offer undergraduates an interdisciplinary, 18-credit LACS Minor degree, which allows students to explore a variety of classes across the Humanities, Social Sciences, and STEM disciplines relating to the crucial roles of Latin America and the Caribbean in our current world, including right here in our home of Long Island, New York.
Our center hosts a variety of events throughout the academic year that serve the social and intellectual needs of undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff at Stony Brook. They include student and faculty research workshops, lecture series and film discussions, monthly coffee hours and teach-ins with community advocacy organizations, and invited talks and panels featuring cutting-edge scholars from around the world.
