CERLAC's Stories (TLN Telelatino Prize)

Discover the work of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean through a collection of engaging stories developed by CERLAC TLN Graduate Fellows. Acting as both knowledge mobilizers and storytellers, these fellows document and share compelling narratives from students and faculty researchers whose work focuses on Latin America and the Caribbean, their diasporic communities, and their influence in Canada and around the world.

A history of silence and absence. A story of presence.
