David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies

Following six years of steady leadership during a period of disruption and renewal, Steven Levitsky has been reappointed for a third and final term. This next chapter will focus on expanding collaborative research, increasing student opportunities in the region, and advancing work on Latin American diasporas.

“We’ve done the hard work of adapting and rethinking how we operate. This next chapter is about deepening our impact—supporting bold research, creating transformative student experiences, and strengthening Harvard’s engagement with Latin America and the Caribbean in ways that are both sustainable and ambitious.” 

—Steven Levitsky
