We provide a dynamic forum for scholarly communication and interaction with the common goal of advancing knowledge of Latin America in Australia.
We promote interdisciplinary research and teaching on Latin America. While we are based at the University of Sydney, we foster academic and cultural links with other Australian institutions as well as bringing students and scholars from different Latin American countries to the University.
We are the nation's leader in Latin American Studies research*, and aim to establish links with professional and community-based organisations and institutions as a way of increasing the visibility of the University of Sydney's significant expertise in Latin American Studies.
We offer a series of research seminars and cultural events and invite staff, students and colleagues from other universities and the general public to attend.
Check our events calendar for upcoming SURCLA seminars.
