Centre for Research on Cuba

Description

The Centre for Research on Cuba is a dedicated research group, based in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, but bringing together post-doctoral and postgraduate researchers working on Cuba from across the university. The centre runs an annual international seminar programme, an annual international conference and postgraduate workshops which bring postgraduate students together on a regular basis. Running parallel to the CRC is the Cuba Research Forum, an international network of over 500 scholars working on Cuba. Please contact the Director of the CRC/CRF, Professor Par Kumaraswami, if you would like to be added to the mailing list: parvathi.kumaraswami@nottingham.ac.uk  

The centre provides a physical base for the Hennessy Collection (a unique open shelf archive of books, newspapers, journals and other materials on, and from Cuba), which is also accessible to researchers from outside the university. You can find the basic catalogue here: https://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/understandingcuba/the-hennessy-collection/ and can email Professor Kumaraswami if you would like to know more or visit the archive.
