The Roger Thayer Stone Center For Latin American Studies
A comprehensive program with faculty in almost every region and discipline essential to understanding Latin America
The Stone Center administers interdisciplinary B.A., M.A, and Ph.D. programs in which students may put together curricular selected from several departments or professional schools. Many students have found that such a program gives them flexibility and better access to the full resources of the university than can be had within the confines of a single department. The Center hosts a wide range of conferences, symposia, film series, and other activities. It also coordinates a number of the university's many research and study programs in Latin America.
The LAST 100
The Stone Center celebrates one hundred years of research and teaching in the field of Latin American Studies at Tulane University. The LAST 100 is among the robust slate of projects and events to celebrate our growth over the past century.
The LAST 100 is a multi-faceted digital humanities initiative reflecting on the university's longstanding commitment to understanding and engaging with Latin America. The project showcases the extensive history and contributions of Tulane's Latin Americanist community through dynamic, open-access resources, including The LAST 100: In Profile, The LAST 100: In Data, The LAST 100: In Stories, and a Digital Collection. Each component embraces a different storytelling approach to trace the Stone Center’s history and legacy and highlight the voices of faculty, students, alumni, and researchers.
Digital Collection
The Digital Collection is a digital database of the most important documents related to the history of Latin American Studies at Tulane. It includes grant applications, correspondence, photographs, ephemera, administrative documents, and other records related to Latin Americanist programming, scholarship, and collaborations. This continually expanding resource is of great use for researchers working in the fields of Latin American Studies, Higher Education, and History. The collection is hosted in the Tulane University Libraries.
