This research guide is intended to help students and researchers of US-Mexican Border Studies of all levels and in many disciplines. It lists general resources related to Latin American Studies, including books, journals, and online resources available at UCSD and within the broader UC Library System.
Use the tabs to navigate this guide, and be sure to scroll down to see the content on each page.
Click on the tab "Beginning Your Research in US-Mexican Border Studies" to identify key, specialized resources which provide excellent starting points for many topics on US-Mexican Border (and in some cases Latin American) Studies. Please also email me if you have additional research questions, would like to set up a research consultation, or have other suggested resources to include in this guide.
For learning or practicing Spanish, Mango Languages, offered via the UCSD LInguistics Department is a great online resource.
