Regional Workshops on Latin America

The Kellogg Institute for International Studies hosted two workshops bringing together Latin Americanists in political science and history from several leading universities in the tri-state region of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. The workshops convened on May 12 at the Hesburgh Center for International Studies at the Notre Dame campus. Faculty members and PhD candidates from six universities, including Notre Dame, presented and discussed their latest research. The other five universities with participants were the University of Chicago, Michigan State University, Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Michigan.

The political science and history regional workshops represented Kellogg's ongoing efforts to support scholarly entrepreneurship and to encourage communication among individuals and institutions about timely issues in Latin America. Topics covered in the workshops included democracy, justice and economic development. Kellogg Institute Director Scott Mainwaring was the organizer of the political science workshop, and Kellogg Faculty Fellows Ted Beatty and Sabine MacCormack were the organizers of the history workshop.
