Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CRoLAC)

Description

The Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CRoLAC) at Queen Mary University of London is a network of scholars from the humanities and social sciences working in and on Latin America and the Caribbean region. It aims to facilitate contact, collaboration and intellectual exchange between academics and practitioners based within and beyond Queen Mary. It hosts regular events and acts as a virtual hub for opportunities, information and expertise relevant to the region.

Its work cuts across research themes including representation and the politics of global knowledge production, extractivism and climate justice, art and cultural production, social movements, gender and social reproduction, development and political economy, human rights and histories of the Americas, and it welcomes engagement with external partners including social movements, journalists, political parties, learned bodies and NGOs. The centre is co-directed from the Department of Geography and Environmental Science and the Department of Modern Languages and Comparative Literature. Its recent events include a seminar, a film screening and workshops, and it has offered small grants for Queen Mary PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to organise events on the region.
