Students should check a current class schedule each semester to see which courses are being offered. Many classes are offered in the evening. All courses carry 4 points per term unless otherwise noted.
CORE COURSES
Master's degree candidates must take G10.1001 (offered every fall) and G10.2001 (offered every spring). These core courses are open to graduate students from other departments and to certain qualified undergraduate students with the Center's permission.
Introduction to Latin American and Caribbean Studies
G10.1001
Begins with a history of the emergence of Latin American and Caribbean studies and continues as a wide-ranging survey of the various disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the area. Some of the readings are meant to explore the boundaries of the established disciplines that are applied to Latin American and Caribbean studies.
Research Seminar in Latin American and Caribbean Studies
G10.2001
In this seminar, students gain proficiency in a major field of scholarship, under the supervision of the CLACS director and affiliated faculty. The seminar refers to neither a region nor a discipline, but a broad set of thematic concerns grouped under such rubrics as development studies; social movement and democratic transition studies; inter-American relations; violence and conflict resolution; gender and sexuality studies; immigration and ethnic studies; tourism studies; sport studies, communications and cultural policy studies, etc., all of which traverse several disciplines and are best approached by constructing a conceptual and categorical map reflecting the ways scholarship structures these fields.
OTHER COURSES OFFERED BY CLACS AND OTHER DEPARTMENTS
Following is a list of selected courses with Latin American or Caribbean foci that may be included in a CLACS master’s program. Shown below is a representative sample, not a complete list, of courses. A separate list of the courses offered during each semester is issued by CLACS before the registration period. Students may petition the director if they wish to include courses not mentioned on the GSAS list in their degree program at the Center. Selected courses at Columbia University and CUNY are also listed in the class schedule, and students follow the same registration procedure as they normally do for NYU courses.
