Addressing Global Challenges: Lessons from Latin America
This year, Kellogg welcomes to the ranks of the Institute's faculty fellows three political scientists and one political sociologist whose primary work focuses on Latin America, building on Kellogg's historic strength in the study of Latin American politics. Each panelist will discuss the issues their research addresses in the region, focusing on what lessons the study of these Latin American experiences can offer us for understanding global issues and addressing global challenges. Moderated by Kellogg Institute Advisory Board members, the panel will feature new Kellogg faculty fellows Tamara Kay (sociology and global affairs), Tom Mustillo (global affairs), Aníbal Pérez-Liñán (political science and global affairs), and Luis Schiumerini (political science).
