This year’s conference encourages participants to expose past and present challenges that have influenced the emergence of social groups that are underestimated, undervalued, and pushed to the margins in Latin American and Caribbean societies. The prospects of social mobility for these people are limited by diverse global, national, regional, and local factors, and scholarly attention from across disciplines has the ability to better conceptualize the interrelatedness of these factors.
Indiana University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) is proud to host the 4th annual CLACS Graduate Student Conference on March 6th - 7th, 2015 at Indiana University Bloomington.
