About us
Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Westminster is an interdisciplinary research group connecting colleagues and students across the university who work on any aspect of Latin American or Caribbean area studies. Members’ research interests include culture, literature and the arts, social justice, journalism and communication, criminology, sociology, and economics among others. We aim to meet throughout the year to foster connection and collaboration, as well as hosting research seminars, invited speakers, and a wide range of public-facing events.
