The Portuguese language offers students access to a wide range of cultures and literatures that literally span the globe: from East and Southern Asia to Africa, from the western edge of Europe to South America and even to large immigrant communities in California. Stanford offers a full four-year Portuguese language program, and ILAC faculty members offer courses each year on Lusophone literature and cultures. Undergraduate and graduate seminars focus on world-renowned authors such as Camões, Lispector, Machado de Assis, and Pessoa, and topics such as Afro-Brazilian culture, Ibero-American modernism, and
the literature of Portuguese empire
