The Latin American History Workshop (LAHW) at the University of Chicago is a forum for discussion of novel approaches to Latin American history. It aims to develop wide comparative historical perspectives and to examine methods and techniques from a variety of disciplines. Presentations cover a broad temporal, geographical, and disciplinary range from early colonial to contemporary times throughout Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.
