SPANISH AND LATIN AMERICAN NETWORK

Welcome to SALA

SALA is one of the projects initiated under the 2000-2002 LEQSF/BoRSF enhancement grant to the Department of Modern Languages at UL Lafayette. Its primary goal is to support and promote cross disciplinary research and teaching on Latin America and the Caribbean at UL Lafayette.

SALA arranges lectures and occasional film series, maintains a media library and web directory, and promotes study abroad.
In 2006-2007 SALA faculty were awarded a new LEQSF/BoRSF enhancement grant to significantly increase library holdings in Spanish and Latin American Studies.

Student Research

One of SALA's original aims was to promote undergraduate as well as graduate level research experience. Students have engaged in individual or group projects gain hands-on experience in bibliographic research, project design, evaluation and organization of documents, academic writing, grant writing, web design, and educational technology, while at the same time deepening their knowledge of the topic that was their focus.

Prior to undertaking their projects, these students had completed History 351 or 352, Spanish 203, 301 or 320, and at least one 400(G) level course on Latin America in a discipline of their choice. They  then enrolled in the s
pecial RESEARCH section of Spanish 402 (502 for graduate students) or 451, where they undertook their projects in a cooperative, workshop environment.

Current students interested in undertaking such projects should contact the Director or a Core Faculty Member of SALA. Project advisors may be chosen from among the LAS Research Faculty.
