Welcome to the Centre for Latin American Studies

CoroicoAbout the centre 

The purpose of the Centre for Latin American Studies is to create an environment for research, teaching, and debate on Latin America at the University of Copenhagen across a wide range of disciplines, including history, sociology, politics, anthropology, language, literary studies and arts, and to contribute to the collaboration between researchers and students from other universities in Denmark and elsewhere who work with Latin America.

The centre also places great value on the maintenance and expansion of its institutional and personal links with the academic communities in Latin America.
