Think Tanks and American policy toward Latin America

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute hosts a cross-disciplinary conversation today at 4 p.m. at the LACSI Hull Street HQ:

"Washington Think Tanks and American Policy Toward Latin America: Why Think Tanks Are Influential and Why Universities Are Not—And Why You Just Might Want to Work There," with featured speaker Howard J. Wiarda, former head of the UGA department of international affairs.

LACSI Cross-Disciplinary Conversations are 15-minute public lectures followed by 45 minutes of open discussion. Affiliates of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute explain for general audiences a specific research project or address a current issue of broad importance. These events are opportunities for UGA and the surrounding community to get to know the vital work being done by LACSI's 140+ affiliates, which now represent every college and professional school on campus.

Free and open to the public.
