Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies

Occasional Paper Series

The Occasional Papers Series

In the early 1960s, Vanderbilt’s Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies (before it was even known as such) began providing a forum for academics to share their research and writing.  This venue, the Occasional Papers Series, gave visibility to conference papers and pre-publication works pertaining to Latin America.  With a general renewal of interest in Latin America, correlated with the growth of CLACX and its attainment of Title VI National Resource Center status, CLACX renewed the Occasional Papers Series.

If you are seeking an opportunity to vet and share your current academic work, CLACX is now accepting paper submissions for review and potential inclusion in the Occasional Papers Series.  For further information, or to make a submission, direct e-mails to clacx@vanderbilt.edu.
