Spanning ancient civilizations to contemporary population movements, from Spain's colonial aspirations to the trials of industrial development, Latin America boasts extraordinary diversity and a vibrant historical tapestry. Our Department specializes in both contemporary and colonial Latin American studies, with focused expertise on Mexico and Brazil. At the University of Utah, Latin American historical research benefits from the Center for Latin American History and the institution's Title VI National Resource Center designation. Graduate students pursuing Latin American history can apply for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships through the Center for Latin American Studies. This academic discipline thrives through collaboration with scholars from various departments campus-wide, including Gender Studies, Art History, Languages and Literature, Philosophy, Communication, Sociology, Film Studies, Political Science, Economics, and others.
