WHAT WE DO

Events Each semester CLAS organizes a vibrant public program of events and conferences. These events feature Latin Americanist faculty from UC Berkley and other universities, policymakers, social leaders and public intellectuals. For a full list of CLAS events please visit our website: clas.berkeley.edu.

Publications The Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies is a biannual publication dedicated to in-depth coverage of Latin American issues. The review features research and articles by a wide range of public figures, scholars and graduate students. CLAS also publishes two series: Working Papers highlight scholarly research on Latin America; Policy Papers focus on current issues in public policy.

Research Each year CLAS offers summer travel grants to approximately 30 graduate students for pre-dissertation research in Latin America. CLAS also occasionally funds faculty research and gives students grants to participate in academic conferences. Exceptional student and faculty research is published in the Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies and the Working and Policy Papers series. CLAS also sponsors working groups engaged in research and dialogue about topics related to Latin America.

Visiting Scholars Each year CLAS sponsors an outstanding group of visiting scholars. The group ranges from area specialists to public intellectuals and practitioners. Recent Visiting Scholars have included Ruth Cardoso, Ricardo Lagos and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. Visiting scholars give public talks, teach courses and seminars and participate fully in the intellectual life at CLAS.

Community CLAS works to build networks among Latin Americanist scholars, students and practitioners. On the UC Berkeley campus, CLAS welcomes and promotes engagement between students, faculty and visitors through receptions, public and private events and cultural activities. The center offers a student research space, a media center and a conference room.

Courses

Each semester CLAS offers semester-long courses. These courses are complimented by shorter seminars (4–8 weeks each), taught by leading scholars, policymakers and public intellectuals on topics ranging from sustainable rural development to the political transition in contemporary Brazil. CLAS seminars are offered in coordination with the

3

Latin American Studies graduate degree programs through the International and Area Studies Teaching Program (IASTP).

Fall 2007 Course Offerings: Dr. Clara Inés Nicholls Perspectives for Sustainable Rural Development in Latin America The rural population of Latin America faces many ecological, socioeconomic and policy challenges and opportunities in today’s globalized economy. After examining the impacts of conventional, agro-export development models (green revolution, nontraditional export crops, biotechnology, etc), this course will analyze the elements of a sustainable agroecological development path that emphasizes local production for food security, poverty reduction, cultural identity and natural resource and biodiversity conservation. Technical, institutional, policy and market requirements for a sustainable agriculture will also be analyzed in detail. Clara Inés Nicholls has worked extensively in Latin America promoting agroecologically-based approaches to agricultural sustainability. She is an entomologist and rural development specialist with a Ph.D. from UC Davis. Latin American Studies 150 CCN: 49127 Thursdays, 4:00 – 7:00 pm 170 Barrows - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Kirsten Sehnbruch Latin America’s Development and Labor Markets In every country’s development process, macroeconomic growth is filtered down to individuals mainly by means of their employment. Latin America’s development experience over the last decade is now acknowledged to have been disappointing if we consider the poor performance of labor markets and the persistently high poverty rates, especially given the hopes that compliance with the reform policies of the Washington Consensus had generated. This course will explore the reasons for this poor performance from the perspective of employment policy and its links to issues of poverty and income distribution. This course will begin by providing an overview of Latin America’s economic development process. It will show how particular institutional structures and labor market legislation were formed that led to specific development outcomes (including their effects on human development in the region). It will discuss basic labor market measurements (e.g. unemployment and participation rates), definitions of poverty and measures of income distribution before looking at how these different measures relate to each other. It will go on to discuss the political debates and discussions that surround

4

employment policy and labor reform, including the opposing theoretical perspectives of neoliberalism and state interventionism. Latin American Studies 150 P002 CCN: 49130 Monday and Wednesday, 4:00 – 5:30 pm 56 Barrows - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Active Working Groups (2006–07)

Afro-Latino Working Group

The mission of the Afro-Latino Working Group is to advance interdisciplinary scholarship on race and the African Diaspora in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. The literature on this topic is limited, and the overwhelming majority of it focuses on Brazil. Meetings include reading and discussing new research on the topic; creating a community of graduate students and faculty researching Afro-

7

Latino issues; and providing the space for working group members as well as faculty, both from Berkeley and elsewhere, to present their work.

Andean Project

The Andean Project is a collaboration of the Venezuela and Bolivia Working Groups during the fall semester of 2006. Our intention is to provide a forum for students, professors and academics to explore issue pertinent to Bolivia and Venezuela. We also hope to evaluate connections and distinctions in the emergence of popular movements and liberal governments that seek a new role for the state and a more egalitarian social order in South America. Components of our planned events will address development, resources, gender, “race” and class themes, in the context of the Andean region. The Project also hopes to raise awareness about Andean region on the UC Berkeley campus by hosting specialists to discuss current events with a perspective from South America.

Our bi-weekly meetings will be led by group members who guide discussion based on readings selected in advance, films or their own research. We have also invited government representatives and in-country scholars to give public talks on Venezuela, Bolivia and the region in general throughout the semester.

For more information on the Andean Project Working Group, please contact:

Contact: Christene DeJong (christene (at) berkeley.edu) Michael Shanks (shanqueros (at) berkeley.edu)

Bolivia

The goal of the Bolivia Working group is threefold: to examine contemporary popular movements in Bolivia and their historical roots and to contextualize Bolivia in the emergence of a “new left” in South America; to provide a forum for students and professors to share their current research on Bolivia; and to coordinate efforts with the Venezuela Working Group, and through the Andean Project raise awareness of the region in the UC Berkeley community.

Major research themes include: the election of Evo Morales and the role of the state; misperceptions and inaccuracies in the Western press; changes in the roles of indigenous groups within the multi-ethnic society; natural resources and development: oil, gas, water and coca; comparisons between Bolivia and other Latin American countries; antagonism with the United States and other relations with Bolivia and the Andean region; the emergence of new popular movements which reject the Washington Consensus and embrace the pursuit of new political and economic models.

Colombia

The Colombia Working Group connects Berkeley researchers who are currently conducting or wish to conduct research in Colombia. For the past four years the Group has organized a wide variety of campus lectures, film presentations and informal lunches with leading Colombian film directors, politicians and artists. The group meets regularly to encourage scholarship on Colombia and facilitate both undergraduate and postgraduate research throughout the country. Members of CWG also inform each other of current news and debates in Colombia through its listserve.

Cuba

The Cuba Working Group brings together faculty, staff and graduate students from across campus whose research or educational interests include a focus on Cuba. Ranging from analyzing the Cuban health care system to its agricultural transformation, the group addresses many contemporary and historical issues from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Its objectives are (1) to provide a forum for sharing research findings by UCB researchers, (2) to facilitate collaborative research with Cuba scholars elsewhere. The Cuba Working Group is affiliated with the Multi-Campus Research Organization, UC–Cuba Academic Initiative.

Contact: Laura Enriquez (enriquez (at) berkeley.edu)

Religion in Latin America The Religion in Latin America Working Group provides a setting for faculty and students to discuss religion in the Americas across disciplines. The working group addresses issues of religious history and change in all Latin American countries, as well

9

as transnational religious movements related to Latin America (including Latinos/Latinas in the United States). Topics may range from pre-Columbian religions to the role of religion in current Latin American politics, and readings will represent the various disciplinary approaches to the study of religion. The working group meets bi-weekly to discuss shared readings. The group will also provide a space for working group members, as well as other invited guest lecturers, to present their research to a critical audience. The group’s ultimate goals are to create a space where the academic study of religion can be discussed openly and critically, and to foster a collaborative environment where research resources can be shared. Contact: Elizabeth Harvey (ejharvey (at) berkeley.edu)

10

Latin American History The Latin American History Working Group coordinates a colloquium for scholars to present their latest research in a variety of fields of interest especially, but not exclusively, to Latin American historians. The colloquium provides a means for the presenters to receive critical feedback on their works in progress in an informal and supportive atmosphere. Presenters include scholars from within and beyond the Berkeley community. The group meets once a month on Friday afternoons. Contacts: Brian Madigan (bmadigan (at) berkeley.edu) Melisa Galván (mgalvan (at) berkeley.edu)

Venezuela

The Venezuela Working Group provides a space for students and faculty interested in a closer examination of the rapidly changing political and social situation in Venezuela. Focusing on the impacts and implications of the self-proclaimed Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, the VWG meets bi-weekly for discussion and sponsors speakers, film screenings and readings. The group hopes to stimulate increased scholarship on Venezuela and provide support for researchers working on Venezuela.

Violence and the Americas This is a longterm working group on phenomena classified under the rubric of violence, through an exploration of conceptual tools and fieldwork data (mostly our own) from North, South and Central America. Our immediate aim is to produce papers and dissertation chapters related to the working group theme. In order to do this, we seek to problematize violence, examining the conditions of possibility for something to be identified as violence and then how it is understood and used as a term in the particular. Some of our questions are: How is violence conceptually deployed by academics, policymakers and the media? What truth discourses circulate? How do they change in time? Why do they take one given form over another at specific historical junctures? How is violence related to power? In our approach to these questions, readings have included Arendt, Bourdieu and Foucault, along with recent scholarship in anthropology and sociology and our own current writings.

Police, Justice and Public Security Police lethality and corruption, ineffective judicial systems, and the widespread rise of

11

violent crime are some of the most palpably important problems facing Latin America today. Researchers on Latin America are increasingly recognizing both the centrality of public security (and its absence) to issues of democratization, economic development and politics; as well as the crucial role that judicial and police institutions play in providing (or failing to provide) public security.

This working group, in addition to sponsoring a series of monthly meetings and presentations, will sponsor a seminar on Police, Justice and Public Security in the 2006–07 school year. Meetings in the preceding months will both offer opportunities for sharing of ideas and short presentations and will function as planning meetings. Furthermore, the budget will be used almost entirely to sponsor this symposium. Ideally, scholars from numerous universities will be brought together at CLAS; Benjamin Lessing, the student organizer of this Work Group, has been in touch with a small group of scholars working on these issues, including Kent Eaton (visiting scholar at Berkeley and CLAS lecturer), Daniel Brinks (U. of Texas), Deborah Yashar (Princeton University), and Robert Gay (Conn. College). In addition, David Collier, who has agreed to be faculty advisor to this working group, has mentioned Douglass Kincaid and Guillermo O’Donnell as potentially interested scholars.
