EnglishWhat Events and Updates Does CLACS at Berkeley Share?
Updated
CLACS (the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies at UC Berkeley) shares its public activity through three main channels: an Upcoming Events listing, Recent Stories and a CLACS Blog on its homepage, and a newsletter signup for ongoing updates. If you want to attend a talk or follow the center's research and community news, the website is the starting point; the newsletter is the way to have updates delivered to you.
Events: Upcoming and Past Listings
The site organizes events under its Events section, which the center describes as connecting "the best of Latin America and the Caribbean to our educators, students, and community members at Berkeley and around the world."
- Upcoming Events — the homepage carries an "UPCOMING EVENTS" block, and the Events section has a dedicated Upcoming Events page. This is where you check what is scheduled next.
- Past Events — a separate Past Events page lets you review what has already taken place, useful if you missed a talk or want to see the kind of programming the center runs.
The homepage evidence shows event content is actively maintained (the visible stories carry 2026 dates), so the Upcoming Events page is the place to confirm current listings rather than relying on the homepage snapshot alone.
Stories and the CLACS Blog
Beyond the calendar, CLACS publishes news and writing in several forms:
| Channel | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Recent Stories | Short news items on the homepage, such as new research groups and leadership welcomes |
| CLACS Blog | Ongoing posts from the center's community |
| Revista Pihhy | A CLACS publication |
| Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies | The center's review publication |
The homepage's Recent Stories section, for example, features items like the formation of UC Berkeley's first Central America research group and a welcome message from the new faculty director. For a fuller picture of publications, the site also points to a searchable CLACS Publications page and a CLACS YouTube channel.
Staying Informed: Newsletter Signup
The site offers a Newsletter Signup link, which routes to a Berkeley mailing-list subscription form. Subscribing is the most direct way to receive event announcements and updates without checking the site repeatedly. The signup page itself will show any fields and confirmation steps required.
How to Use These Resources
- To attend something: open the Events section and check Upcoming Events for the current schedule.
- To catch up: browse Past Events, Recent Stories, and the CLACS Blog.
- To stay current: use the Newsletter Signup link and complete the subscription form.
- To go deeper: explore the Publications section, including the Berkeley Review of Latin American Studies and Revista Pihhy, or the CLACS YouTube channel for recorded content.
One practical note: the homepage is a snapshot, so event dates and story listings change. Treat the dedicated Events and Publications pages as the authoritative source, and use the newsletter if you don't want to monitor the site yourself.
