Each year, the LAII sponsors and/or hosts interdisciplinary presentations, panels, colloquia, and conferences relating to Latin American and Iberian Studies. The LAII often collaborates with other UNM departments to attract speakers from across UNM disciplines and from national and international institutions. When possible, the LAII records speakers' presentations and makes this archive available publicly. Please browse recent presentation recordings below.
