The Latin American Centre (LAC) and St Antony’s College launched the Malcolm Deas Fund on the occasion of the Centre’s 50th anniversary to strengthen the mission of the LAC in promoting teaching and research on Colombia and Latin America in Oxford. The Fund allows the LAC and St Antony’s to support a wide range of academic activities.
Members of the Latin American Centre are invited to apply for grants that support lectures, workshops, fieldwork, and conferences that serve to enhance the intellectual life of the Centre. Doctoral students working on Latin American themes in the social sciences and humanities are welcome to apply.
Awards will be allocated according to the following selection criteria:
- Students supervised by the LAC
- Non-LAC students supervised elsewhere
- LAC staff (provided had not applied in previous year)
- LAC DPhil students
- DPhil students from elsewhere
- Staff from other departments
- Anyone who applied in the previous year
Application process
All applications will be judged on the quality of the information provided, including a sufficiently detailed budget.
Any students applying who are not supervised by a LAC member of staff should submit a reference letter from their supervisor.
Grants will normally be between £100 and £500.
