UTokyo LAINAC @ LASA2017 in Lima, Peru

UTokyo LAINAC makes the best use of international conferences in order to promote collaborative researches and activity interchanges among researchers and graduate-school students from overseas. In fact, UTokyo LAINAC has directly or indirectly supported the annual events hosted by Japan Society of Social Science on Latin America, and The Japan Association for Latin American Studies. This time, UTokyo LAINAC participates in the annual meeting hosted by Latin American Studies Association from April 29th, 2017 to May 1st in Lima, Peru (LASA 2017, “Diálogos de Saberes/Dialogues of Knowledge”); simultaneously, collaborative researches with researchers and graduate-school students of partner schools will be realized. LAINAC has been a sponsor of several panels or workshops held at LASA 2017.
