Study Abroad with UCSD Global Seminar

Students in Latin American studies are encouraged to participate in UC San Diego Global Seminars.  UC San Diego Global Seminars are summer session global experiences led by a UC San Diego professor.

Students interested in studying abroad should see the Latin American Studies Student Affairs Coordinator to discuss their plan of study before they leave. Financial aid can be used and special study-abroad scholarships are also available.

2025 Latin American Studies Courses:

Are you interested in visiting the ruins of the world’s first refrigerated slaughterhouse? Or 19th Century taverns located in Argentina’s pampas (interior plain) to eat a meal over open fire? To converse with members of the Charrua indigenous nation, a native tribe fighting for recognition and who the Uruguayan government claims to not exist?

This program is oriented towards students interested in social justice questions from a Global South perspective. The program emphasizes links between social movements across the Americas. For example, how have transcontinental social movements thought about solving a looming energy crisis in ways that center the well-being of people and the environment of the global periphery?
