The Latinoamericanist Podcast

Conversations across languages, cultures and borders from the Centre of Latin American Studies, University of Cambridge

Hosted by David Lehmann

The Latinoamericanist podcast is designed to be a source of stimulation, information and entertainment for Latin Americanists worldwide. It is supported by the Centre of Latin American Studies at the University of Cambridge in England with a team including social scientist David Lehmann, anthropologist Natalia Buitrón, historian Adrián Lerner and Paola A. Lopez as producer. The podcast consists of conversations that will appeal to Latin Americanists across the world, and the language is English, Spanish or Portuguese, depending on the guests.

We aim to range widely across all the disciplines and periods encompassed by Latin American Studies, to invite gifted communicators whose teaching and writing crosses boundaries established by convention, by ideology, or by informal epistemic networks.

We welcome comments and suggestions, and you can reach us by writing to adl1@cam.ac.uk
