Mexico

The Mexican Studies Group is co-sponsored by the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities and CLACX. This group brings together faculty and graduate students from history, political science, literature, sociology, art, anthropology, music, pedagogy, Latin American Studies, and Latinx Studies.  Mexican Studies Group aims at raising the profile of research related to Mexico on our campus.
