Doctor of Philosphy in History- Latin America and the Caribbean in Providence United States | Brown University

The History Department at Brown University features eight dedicated scholars specializing in Latin American and Caribbean studies, with focused expertise in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and Peru. These faculty members extend their scholarly reach by engaging with other departmental clusters like African studies, Atlantic history, and U.S. imperial and borderlands research. They play pivotal roles in various Brown initiatives, leading programs such as the Andean Project, Brazil Initiative, Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice, and the John Carter Brown Library. Several collaborate with the Watson Institute for International Studies on academic projects and events. The Latin American and Caribbean studies faculty explore unifying themes including gender and sexuality studies, history of science and medicine, racial and ethnic studies, and environmental history. Their work often examines international and transnational perspectives on the region, spanning from colonial-era research (with emphases on Atlantic, imperial, and indigenous history) to modern periods (focusing on transpacific connections, Caribbean studies, and Cold War sociopolitical dynamics).
