The Latin American Geographies Research Group: Publishing across boundaries
The Latin American Geographies Research Group (LAGRG) is pleased to announce two days of activities in London on 10-11 June 2025, supported by the RGS and LISS DTP.
Activities will include panel discussions on three new books exploring Latin American geographies and workshop sessions on ‘Publishing Across Boundaries’ and ‘Teaching Latin American Geographies’. Attendance is free of charge.
Please note, the two days are separate events held at different locations in London and you need to register for them separately. You are welcome to attend for just one day, but the activities have been planned together and we hope many will be able to attend both.
Occasioned by LAGRG’s ‘Guide to Publishing Across Boundaries’ and two recent books exploring socio-spatial marginalisation in Latin America – Subjectivity at Latin America’s Urban Margins and Researching Displacement Together: Co-producing Knowledge Together with Women in Colombia – Day 2 will focus on the challenges and benefits of publishing across linguistic, national, cultural and epistemological boundaries. During roundtable sessions, editors and contributors to each book will present their work and share experiences about the process and challenges of publishing across boundaries. In particular, we orient our discussion to ECRs interested in publishing across regional and linguistic boundaries.
Activities on Day 2 will run from 11.00-16.45. Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided. See registration page for the full programme.
If you would like to attend Day 2, please register HERE (*If you wish to attend both days, please register for both separately).
