Throughout the academic year, PLAS-sponsored and co-sponsored events enable the campus community to experience the Latin American world right here at Princeton. From lectures by some of the world's leading thinkers to arts programs that spark new inspiration and challenge old assumptions, each offering is unique. Yet taken together, they foster a vibrant, ever-evolving dialogue about the region.
