Tulane’s Stone Center for Latin American Studies
Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute
The Cuban & Caribbean Studies Institute, a part of Tulane’s Stone Center for Latin American Studies.
Originally named the Cuban Studies Institute, evolved out of several years of sustained effort in developing relations with Cuban counterpart organizations for the purposes of academic collaboration and exchange, curricular development, cultural exchange and international development and dialogue. This organizational unit, officially established in 1997, has been responsible for the organization of a variety of lectures, performances, courses, symposia, etc. aimed at promoting a true academic and cultural exchange between Cuba and the United States.
2024 Summer Programs
2024 Summer Programs
Summer in Cuba offers undergraduate students a unique opportunity for linguistic and cultural immersion facilitated by Tulane faculty experts. During this four-week program, we travel across the island, exploring the island’s contemporary social and cultural landscapes, learning from local civic and artistic leaders, and visiting important national sites. While catered to Spanish majors/minors, we welcome applications from students in all disciplines with advanced or heritage Spanish skills and a broad interest in the Caribbean, Latin America, cinema and/or theatre. By dividing time between the major cities of Havana, Camagüey, and Santiago, the program challenges students to consider Cuba beyond its iconic capital city and recognize the diversity of Cuban communities and cultures.
