Summer Institute
PIER-Latin American and Iberian Studies
The Southern Cone (New Haven Portion):
July 7-12, 2008
Optional Field Study to Buenos Aires, Argentina tentative
dates: July 14-24, 2008
What
defines South America’s Southern Cone? What
commonalities tie the region together, and what
particularities add to its internal diversity?
How is this region connected to the rest of
Latin America, and to the rest of the world?
Focusing on the core countries most widely
defined as being the Southern Cone (Argentina,
Chile, and Uruguay), this institute will explore
the natural environments, geography, politics,
histories, and economics of this region. In
addition, we will also explore the field of
human rights as we learn about the military
dictatorships that pervaded this region in the
past, and the aftermath of these regimes today.
Experts on the Southern Cone will share their
expertise with you and your colleagues during
this dynamic, intensive, interdisciplinary
week. The New Haven portion of this institute
will be immediately followed by a field study to
Argentina. The field study will concentrate on
historical memory and the nation, as well as the
connections between economics, politics, and
culture.
Cost of the field study TBD (estimate-
$2500-$3500). Registration fee for the one week
New Haven program is $150, and includes all
texts and materials. Sponsored by the Council
on Latin American and Iberian Studies, the
MacMillan Center, and the U.S. Department of
Education through a Title VI National Resource
Center grant.
