The LACS Field Research Grants are funded by the Rackham Graduate School, the LACS Brazil Initiative, and the International Institute to support graduate students conducting preliminary fieldwork in Latin America. The grants provide students with the opportunity to establish professional and academic contacts, familiarize themselves with sources relevant to their studies, conduct pilot studies and preliminary investigations, and refine their projects.

In this conference, students who received the 2018 Field Research Grant will present on their research conducted over the summer. This event is free and open to the public.
