About this event

The University of Toronto is the academic home to a great diversity of students. Students who identify themselves as having Latin American cultural background made up 4% of first-year students and 2% of senior students, in 2017 (according to the National Survey of Student Engagement).

To better understand the needs of these students, the Latin American Studies program partnered with the Innovation Hub to engage students enrolled in LAS 401 H1 - Latinos in Toronto - in a collaborative project.

Join us for this presentation of the key insights found by these students about the Latinx experiences at U of T. Share your own experience with us and help us think of potential solutions to the issues that affect Latinx students.

Organized by

Department of Spanish & Portuguese at U of T

We are a vibrant academic unit at the University of Toronto, committed to supporting our students' development of Spanish and Portuguese language proficiency and to their growth in expertise in Spanish-speaking and Lusophone literatures, culture and linguistics.

In 2019, we welcomed back the Latin American Studies program to our department. This integration expands our focus on issues relevant to the ideas, peoples, and commodities that have come together within a far-reaching trans-Atlantic cultural sphere - including the indigenous peoples of Latin America, Latin American migrants and their descendants in Canada and elsewhere.

Join us to learn more about issues relevant to the peoples whose stories and histories evolved and were documented in Spanish and Portuguese, and gain appreciation for their historical and cultural trajectories.
