The Center for Latin American Studies brings leading Latin American scholars to Stanford University to teach, conduct research, and advise students in their particular areas of expertise. These experts are nominated by Stanford faculty and may stay at Stanford for one to three quarters. While at Stanford, Tinker Professors are expected to give a public talk at CLAS. For more information, please contact Associate Director Megan Gorman.
