Our Latin American Studies research encompasses diverse regions and leads innovation in literary, historical, cultural, and social science fields. We publish influential journals like the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Bulletin of Contemporary Hispanic Studies, and Modern Languages Open. Our approach embraces Latin American studies in its fullest context, examining the interconnected Hispanic and Lusophone worlds across multiple geographic and linguistic dimensions.

Collaboration with cultural institutions like FACT, National Museums Liverpool, Tate Gallery, and the Bluecoat enables us to host public programs exploring Latin American digital art, Brazilian popular culture, and cinematic/literary works.

Postgraduate researchers enjoy customized supervision across disciplines and institutions.
