LAC faculty and students turned out in great numbers to the International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association in Barcelona (23-26 May 2018). This was the first LASA held in Europe and the largest meeting ever, with nearly 8000 participants. The LAC hosted a joint reception for alumni and friends with the Institut d’Història of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and more than 50 people linked to our Centre and other parts of the University of Oxford made presentations at LASA.
