ACADEMIC FORUM
Following the LASA International Congress in Paris in May, Canning House will be convening the Latin American Academic Forum in London. The Forum will provide a space for academics to reflect on key takeaways from the Congress and to share their latest work with each other.
The Latin American Academic Forum is a multidisciplinary gathering that welcomes presentations and contributions from political science, anthropology, environmentalism, economics, history, international relations, and sociology. Through short presentations, the forum will provide a space for discussion of recent and ongoing academic work which investigates Latin American issues.
The goal of the forum is to bring scholars interested in the region closer together to foster knowledge exchange and academic collaboration.
