Welcome to Latino Media Arts & Studies

The Latino Media Arts & Studies Program, or L-MÁS, is an endeavor of the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin with a three-fold mission: to support students interested in learning more about Latina/o/x-oriented and -produced film, television, journalism, and advertising, to support Latina and Latino film and media producers, journalists, and advertising professionals in training, and to foster scholarship and teaching on these topics. We do this through supporting a Latino and Latin American Media Studies minor, open to Moody College students and all UT-Austin undergraduates, through annual speaker series, and through other programming for students and researchers.
