Internship in Mar de Plata, Argentina
Latin American and
Caribbean Studies Program
 W&L's
newest interdisciplinary program, The Latin American and Caribbean
Studies Program allows students
to explore the region through a variety of
disciplines—including history, literature, economics, politics, and
sociology.
Students interested in completing the
Minor or simply learning more about the region should enroll in LACS
101 (Intro to Latin America and Caribbean Studies) as early as possible.
LACS 101 counts towards the FDR HU requirement. To learn more
about the program, visit the Program and Course site

VISTAS:
A searchable database of Spanish-American images
My collection of photos as well as those
contributed from my students led me to need a more systematic way of
finding and cataloguing the images I use of Spanish-America in class.
With the technological help of Jeff Knudson at W&L, we created a database
that allows you to sort slides in multiple categories. As Editor of
VISTAS: A searchable database of Spanish-American images,
I vet images into categories intended for interdisciplinary Latin American
studies. (My Photo Galleries also include
images but without any vetted details.)

Letter of
Recommendation Request:
Good recommendations come from faculty who
know you and your work thoroughly and who can speak to the qualities that
distinguish you from other students. Enthusiasm, interest in relevant
subject matter beyond the classroom, willingness to do more than what is
simply required, are examples of the characteristics that we hope to find
in our majors.... (from the Spanish Division Homepage,
The Major)
