THE MULTIPLE FACES OF CONFLICT IN LATIN AMERICA

PERSPECTIVES FROM SCOTLAND
MULTIDISCIPLINARY SEMINAR SERIES 2013-2014
A seminar series funded by the Institute for Latin American Studies, School of Advanced Studies

Conflict in Latin America has usually been understood and explored in terms of open violence ranging from the struggles for independence throughout the 19th century to more recent and on-going experiences of internal war. This multidisciplinary seminar series seeks to enlarge the analytical scope of conflict for the region to include other historical and contemporary expressions and relatively unquestioned sites of conflict that have recently taken central importance, or conflicts that have been hidden by the (neo)liberal states apparatuses. This seminar series aims to create a critical forum on conflict in Latin America based on ten presentations by different speakers who work throughout the region and are based in Scottish universities. Each speaker will present an interpretation of conflict arising from their own research to shed light on the multiplicity of experiences of conflict throughout the region. The seminar series also aims to strengthen the network of Latin Americanist researchers and postgraduate students working and studying in Scottish universities, and in doing so act as a starting point for future events. Call for postgraduate travel bursaries The organisers invite postgraduate students (taught and research) from the universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, and Stirling to apply for travel bursaries to cover part of the expenses (up to 15) incurred in travelling to all of the seminars. At least two bursaries will be granted to students from each university. We request that any student wishing to apply for a bursary send a short email stating their degree programme, university and area of interest, making a case for why they would benefit from attending. Please send these emails to Juan Pablo Sarmiento Barletti (jps5@standrews.ac.uk) and Casey High (c.high@ed.ac.uk) by the 25th of October.
