The Latin American and Latino Studies Program is led by the Latin American and Latino Steering Committee, a group of faculty members from various departments across the Wake Forest Undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences charged with overseeing the development of the Program and the curriculum for the undergraduate minor in the Latin American and Latino Studies. Members of the Steering Committee conduct research on and teach courses related to Latin American and Latino issues. The Committee is head by the Program’s Director, Dr. Ana-María Wahl-González, Associate Professor of Sociology, and advised by a group of associated faculty that also conduct research on and teach courses related to Latin America.
