Dear Graduate Students,
As part of my work as Graduate Student Representative for the SCMS Latino/a Caucus, I am aiming to reach out to graduate students who might benefit from becoming caucus members.
What is the SCMS Latino Caucus?
It is a group within The Society of Cinema and Media Studies which aims to facilitate interaction between U.S. and Latin American/Latino/a scholars and filmmakers and to support active linkages to Latina/o and Latin American film and television groups and publications, including those associated with other scholarly organizations and bearing international scope.
What does it do?
The caucus provides a forum from which to engage in the study of theory, history, and criticism and for the promotion of critical methods and theoretical approaches that centre on Latina/o and Latin American representations and production within the realm of film and media culture. It promotes these linkages via:
• our e-mail listserv and Facebook group
• through invitations to host international/national scholars and film/media artists at the annual Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference
• through the promotion of Latina/o filmmaking
• through the dissemination of scholarship and critical materials in English by Latin American and North American scholars via translation projects.
We also provide access to Latin American/Latina/o film resources on our website and book table that we organize at the annual conference. To this end, the Latino/a Caucus organizes and hosts panels, workshops, screenings, caucus meetings and special events at the SCMS conference.

At this year’s conference in Boston the caucus will also be hosting a 20th anniversary celebration of its history.
How do I join?
You can join us by becoming a member of SCMS online via http://www.cmstudies.org/ and then opting to become part of the Latino/a caucus.
