JANEY PROGRAM IN LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
The ongoing struggles over social justice, equality, human rights, and political liberty in Latin America resonate deeply at The New School for Social Research, reflecting many of the same concerns that led to the founding of the University in Exile in 1933, which continue to inform and energize our work.
With generous support from Daniel and Susan Rothenberg, the Janey Program in Latin American Studies provides fellowships for students from Latin America and the Caribbean pursuing graduate studies at The New School, summer fellowships for fieldwork and research in Latin America and the Caribbean, an annual conference, lectures, and occasional visits to The New School by scholars from Latin America.
The Janey Program reflects the global perspective of The New School for Social Research and is an important part of Latin American studies in The New School as a whole.
