Check out our Research Resources!
We’ve added a ‘Research Resources’ page to our website, with short-documents available for download which address a number of issues relevant to postgraduate students, as well as provides links to useful websites and other on-line resources. If you have information that you think would be useful for fellow PILAS members and should be included on the website, please let us know!

PILAS on JISCMail
The PILAS JISCMail Forum is accessible at: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=pilas. JISCMail allows PILAS members to post information about events, conferences, or publications which would be of interest to fellow Latin-Americanist postgraduates. We encourage all PILAS members to use this fantastic resource!

Further information is available in the Research Resources section of this website.
