Australian National Centre for Latin American Studies (ANCLAS - ANU)

The Australian National Centre for Latin American Studies (ANCLAS) exists to develop research and teaching in Latin American Studies, particularly in the fields of the social sciences and humanities, business and economics. ANCLAS aims to promote mutual interest and exchange between Australian and Latin American scholars and to raise broader public awareness and understanding of Latin America in Australia.

ANCLAS hosts a regular seminar series which includes sponsored visits by Latin Americanists from elsewhere in Australia and overseas. These seminars provide a forum for those working in the field to come together to present and discuss their work. In addition, ANCLAS sponsors various research projects which bring together Australian and international scholars.
