For the third year in a row, the LAII has honored its affiliated faculty members who published books in the previous year.

On April 29, 2016, the LAII proudly hosted a reception to honor affiliated faculty who had published books in 2015. The event, hosted alongside our annual Affiliated Faculty Concilium meeting, provided the opportunity to reflect on the breadth and depth of scholarship shared by Latin Americanist and Iberianist faculty across campus.
