Lily studied Latin American history as one of her core concentrations at Wesleyan, pairing it with Hispanic Literatures & Cultures to build fluency in both the events and the primary sources behind them. She unpacks everything from colonial extraction economies to twentieth-century revolutionary movements, drawing on Spanish-language documents and regional scholarship that English-only courses often skip.

Earning a certificate in Latine/Mexican American studies at UNT means Lianna has done serious academic work on the political, cultural, and economic forces that shaped Latin America — from colonial extraction systems to 20th-century revolutionary movements. She unpacks complex topics like caudillismo, dependency theory, and U.S. interventionism with the kind of specificity this subject demands. Students get someone who genuinely knows this material, not someone teaching it from a general history background.

Born in Colombia and raised in the United States, Simon brings firsthand cultural context to Latin American history that most tutors simply can't offer. He unpacks topics like colonial legacies, independence movements, and Cold War-era politics with a perspective shaped by growing up between two worlds — making the material feel immediate rather than distant.

A Latin American Studies degree means Joseph didn't just read about the region — he studied its revolutions, Cold War interventions, indigenous movements, and economic transformations in depth. He teaches students to trace how colonialism, U.S. foreign policy, and internal class dynamics shaped everything from the Mexican Revolution to modern-day political shifts across the hemisphere.

From the colonial extraction economies of the 1500s to Cold War–era coups and modern populist movements, Latin American history is deeply political. Denisse's political science training and fluency in Spanish let her unpack regional dynamics — dependency theory, caudillismo, revolutionary movements — with the kind of nuance that textbooks often flatten.

Latin American History demands grappling with colonialism, revolution, and Cold War intervention all at once — and doing it without defaulting to a U.S.-centric lens. Nathaniel's extensive work with primary documents translates well here, where students need to analyze sources ranging from Bartolomé de las Casas to dependency theorists to make sense of the region's complex political and economic trajectories.

Studying International Relations at Tulane — a university deeply tied to Latin American scholarship — gave Alexis a strong grounding in the region's political and cultural history, from colonial extraction economies to 20th-century revolutionary movements. She digs into topics like the Mexican Revolution, Cold War interventions in Central America, and the legacy of caudillismo with an eye toward how they shaped today's hemisphere. Students walk away understanding Latin America as a complex region, not a footnote in someone else's story.

Latin America's history is inseparable from the colonial languages that shaped it — and Evan's deep background in French literature gives him a unique lens on Francophone Caribbean nations like Haiti, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. He teaches students to read revolutionary-era documents and trace how colonialism, independence movements, and cultural identity intertwine across the region.
