Resources for UT Faculty Working in Mexico

Mexico Center Call for Proposals
The Mexico Center provides funds for faculty to organize academic public events on campus, including but not limited to conferences, workshops, lectures, and collaborations with visiting scholars. In an effort to leverage the Mexico Center's reach and strengthen its ties within the university, we strongly encourage applicants to seek complementary funding from the faculty member's home department, other offices on campus, or outside sources of support. The call, which goes out in the fall semester, is open to LLILAS faculty. Priority is given to Mexicanist faculty and to proposals for events that enhance the academic training of UT graduate and undergraduate students.

Austin Lecture on Contemporary Mexico Nominations
In a separate competition, faculty can nominate a keynote speaker for the Austin Lecture on Contemporary Mexico.

Resources for UT Students Working in Mexico

The Mexico Center provides support for U.S. and Mexican students to conduct research in Mexico and for Mexican students to study at UT Austin. In addition to the E.D. Farmer Fellowship, listed here, which focuses on Mexico-related studies, LLILAS offers a number of funding opportunities that support research in the Americas.
