Currently, the Program is organized into two Areas of Concentration: Literary Studies and Linguistic Studies, each with three lines of research. Since 2023, we have been making our commitment to indigenous peoples, who have been present in our research throughout the history of the Program, effective by creating two new lines of research specifically focused on indigenous cosmologies, one in each Area of Concentration. This initiative was based primarily on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 20 - Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Communities. .png)
