Latin American and Latinx Studies Symposium
We are thrilled to host the 2026 Latin American and Latinx Studies Symposium. The symposium will be held in person on Friday, March 27, 2026 at the nearby Alfond Inn.
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at Rollins College organizes the Latin American and Latinx Studies Symposium. Undergraduate students will share their research on domestic and foreign issues concerning Latin America and the Latinx population.
Submit a Proposal
The Latin American and Latinx Studies symposium is a multi- and inter-disciplinary undergraduate research conference highlighting original research and creative projects conducted during the preceding year by undergraduate students. Undergraduate papers on any topic relevant to Latin American Studies may be accepted: politics and culture, the global economy, literature, the environment, public health, gender, and art, for example.
Papers may be presented in Spanish, English, or Portuguese.
Selected proposals on similar topics will be combined into a panel presentation.

“Truthfully, I found the conference to be extremely beneficial to my students. It provided the perfect environment for students; meaning that it was not intimidating or overwhelming. Moderators and those in the audience were supportive and encouraging. I know that some of my students were nervous about presenting but felt more comfortable once they began presenting. This was due to the fact they were made to feel at ease by the smiling faces and kind words. Thank you!”
