Teaching Committee

The Teaching Committee is one of the special committees organized by the Conference on Latin American History (CLAH) to carry out its goal of improving the teaching of Latin American history. Its members must be members of the Conference. The Teaching Committee meets at the annual convention to conduct its formal business, to plan future activities, and to foster the exchange of ideas related to teaching. It also publishes regular columns in the CLAH newsletter and maintains this website to make available materials and resources essential to the teaching of Latin American history.


All members of CLAH are invited to join and participate with the Teaching Committee at its annual meeting.  Individuals interested in joining the Teaching Committee should contact:
