We are pleased to announce a new interdisciplinary seminar at the LSE bringing together current research on Latin America and the Caribbean.
Taking a different theme each term, the seminar aims to generate conversations across disciplines and explore what Latin America and the Caribbean - and research on the region - can contribute to key debates in the social sciences. The seminar, to be held fortnightly on Thursdays from 1.30-3pm, will be a space for staff, students and the wider academic community beyond LSE to share research and engage in discussion over coffee. We will be inviting participants to read a pre-circulated paper and arrive ready to talk about it with the author in a collaborative and constructive way. For further information and to be added to the mailing list for the seminar, please email: t.harmer@lse.ac.uk
Convenors: Tanya Harmer, Anna Cant, Jenny Pearce and Ken Shadlen
All seminars are hybrid and welcome to all either in person at LRB4.02 (PhD Academy Teaching Room) or via zoom. Please email t.harmer@lse.ac.uk for a link if you would like to attend online.
