Description

Brown University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) runs the La(s) Frontera(s) Initiative Grants to support research and programming on borders in Latin America and the Caribbean. Particular attention is given to borderlands, migration, and transnationalism, with support extending through June 2027.

The initiative emphasizes the lived experiences of fronteras, understood as geographic, cultural, linguistic, or conceptual borders. It seeks to generate dialogue across disciplines about how borders shape identities, economies, and political life. The grants are part of CLACS’s broader support for interdisciplinary research, programming, and collaborative projects.
