SPEAKER: chaired by MLAS coordinator, Dr Julienne Weegels

DATE: 26 September 2025

ACTIVITY: CEDLA Graduation

On Friday 26 September, we celebrated the graduation of the 2024–2025 MA Latin American Studies cohort in the historic Surgical Theatre at the newly opened University Library. Once used for medical operations, the venue hosted its very first graduation ceremony, chaired by our new MLAS coordinator, Dr Julienne Weegels. We are proud to recognise the achievements of our graduates, whose research explored a wide range of topics — from Indigenous and Afro-descendant perspectives in Oaxacan urban art to the privatisation of security in Quito, Lima’s gay nightlife, Chile’s water crisis in Petorca, forest governmentality in Peru, and Brazilian social workers’ approaches to gender-based violence policies.

We warmly congratulate all our graduates and wish them every success in their future careers and research paths.
