Penn in Latin America & the Caribbean (PLAC) Symposium
Bringing together the Penn community to highlight the University’s engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean
About the Annual Symposium
Each year, the PLAC Steering Committee partners with schools, centers, and departments across campus to bring together the Penn community to highlight Penn work in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to promote interaction and collaboration among all who attend. The interdisciplinary symposium often features research presentations, keynote conversations, and panel discussions focusing on a broad issue impacting the region.
7th annual Plac symposium
2024 PLAC Symposium
The theme of the 2024 PLAC Symposium was Public and Community Engaged Scholarship in Latin America, the Caribbean, and its Diaspora. For this conference, we are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how community engaged scholarship is perceived and practiced within the particular histories and situated contexts of Latin America and the Caribbean. The conference was held on October 10 and 11, 2024.
