Research and Methodologies in Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The course will offer students a collaborative learning environment where research ideas can be developed and discussed with fellow students and a range of LACA faculty. During the course, the instructor will facilitate the development of research ideas and expose students to research methods, tools, and resources specific to the study of Latin America and the Caribbean. Moreover, the instructor will train students to develop research and creative projects and enhance their ability to write and communicate their ideas, produce effective and generative research questions, and/or produce innovative creative projects in a robust and convincing manner. In addition, during the semester, students will benefit from interactive workshops led by the Brown Writing Center as well as visits to special collections at the John Hay Library, and guest speakers from different disciplines.
