With a history that stretches back at least 14,000 years, Latin America is full of exciting culture and history waiting to be discovered by Temple students. Here, you’ll discover the stories of those students along with the alumni and faculty of our Latin American Studies program, and you can contact us if you have another story idea you’d like to see shared on our website. Latin American stretches from North American to Central America to the Caribbean to South America, with each region and country flowing with an embarrassment of cultural riches. Temple Latin American Studies professors develop their students into experts on this diverse region who can speak from a position of authority on its biggest issues.
