UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

The Centre was founded in 1966 to promote research and teaching on Latin America in the University. It is one of the five original "Parry Centres" that were established in Oxford, London, Cambridge, Glasgow and Liverpool following the report of the Parliamentary Committee on Latin American Studies, chaired by Dr J. H. Parry (1962-64). It is governed by a Management Committee, consisting of University academics appointed by the Departments and Faculties of the University. It is linked to other Centres and Institutes of Latin American Studies in the United Kingdom through an informal Standing Conference of Directors of Centres, hosted regularly by the London Institute for the Study of the Americas.
