  • An opportunity to make professional contacts that can assist with research logistics, recommendations, teaching materials, and other types of support.

  • Participation in a non-profit, international organization that works to enhance the diversity of perspectives involved in research on the places of the Americas as well as to mitigate the global divide in access to the resulting research publicationsthrough CLAGnet and the open-access program at JLAG.
