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.
2025 SUMMER PROGRAMS
The Stone Center is committed to promoting international experiences for students to gain understanding, acquire knowledge, and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. We administer a portfolio of faculty-led summer programs designed to bring participants closer to the region’s languages, peoples, and histories through intensive class work and stimulating explorations.
Our 2025 programs take students to Cuba, Brazil, Guatemala for immersion in Spanish, Portuguese, and Mayan languages, communities, and cultures. Non-Tulane students are welcome to apply to all our programs; grades and credits are transferable according to each school’s policies.

Digital Collection
The Digital Collection is a digital database of the most important documents related to the history of Latin American Studies at Tulane—which marked a century of research and teaching in 2024. 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.
The Digital Collection is part of The LAST 100, a multi-faceted digital humanities initiative reflecting on the university's longstanding commitment to understanding and engaging with Latin America.
