Community Outreach
Latin American & Caribbean Forum (LACF)
Latin American & Caribbean Forum (LACF) is an integral part of community outreach and research in the Department of Conflict Analysis & Resolution (DCAR). LACF is founded and supervised by Dr. John P. Linstroth. LACF is a graduate student run organization whereby graduate students, faculty members, and invited guests will present on a variety of topics in relation to problems associated with Latin America and the Caribbean. Possible topics which will be explored will include but are not limited to: indigenous issues of acculturation and assimilation; poverty in Latin America; violence in the Caribbean; government and indigenous relations in Brazil; indigenous movements in Latin America; ethnicity and belonging among immigrant groups in South Florida (especially, Cubans, Guatemala/Maya, and Haitians) and any other topic deemed important to the members of the forum.
For any of those interested in Dr. Linstroth’s research in this area and would like to join, see the website: www.lacforum.org/
