Latin America Research Group
At the University of Victoria
The Latin America Research Group at the University of Victoria aims to serve as an academic forum for scholarly research about Latin America.
The group gathers faculty members from a wide array of departments - Hispanic and Italian Studies, Anthropology, Philosophy, Sociology, Geography, Public Administration and Business, among others - and promotes joint research projects, lectures, conferences, courses and seminars across departmental lines and disciplines.
The group seeks to enhance the profile of Latin America as a key cultural, political, and economic region of the Americas. It also intends to establish ties with other institutions in Canada, the United States and Latin America to foster academic exchange.
Through its website, the Latin America Research Group is also an informational resource for faculty, students, and the community at large interested in academic and cultural activities related to Latin America being held at the University and the Victoria region.
