LSE's Latin American Politics Seminar Series

I am the co-convenor (with Mathias Poertner) of the Latin American Politics Seminar Series at the LSE. During Lent Term (Spring) 2022, the seminar will be held in-person on campus  and will also be available online via Zoom. For those attending in-person, the only requirement is to have a negative covid test registered with the NHS from the last four days. If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please contact [email protected].
