ISLAA Forum
The ISLAA Forum aims to expand collaborative relationships by long-term partnerships between universities outside the New York metropolitan area. The goal is for graduate students studying Latin American art to foster connections and solidarity across potential disparities in resource accessibility and distribution for specialists in this field. The ISLAA Forum further extends support to these networks of exchange by developing targeted programs for professional and intellectual enrichment.
