Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Institute of the Americas would like to warmly congratulate our Globalisation and Latin American Development MSc student Leo Neuringer on his successful bid for funding from the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Changemakers initiative for his project The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Americas Journal Club (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍøAJC).

The project's goal is to foster a platform for inter-departmental and inter-level connections and to create an informal arena for-students by-students to practice presentation skills and demonstrate what different levels of research in different disciplines entail.

In practice, participants in the club will hold bi-weekly sessions where postgraduate researchers from a variety of disciplines present research to a diverse audience of students before leading a critical discussion. The research doesn't need to be their own, just something forthcoming on or around the Americas. Some of the academic departments with significant links to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Americas are Economics, Political Science, Anthropology, Geography, Arts & Sciences, History, Development and Planning Unit, Archaeology, ESPS, and SELCS.

The first meeting will take place on Tuesday 20th February at 6pm, at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Institute of the Americas Seminar Room 105, 51 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PN.

Join and follow the or e-mail Leo directly on leo.neuringer.12@ucl.ac.uk for more information.

In order to drive awareness and allow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø students to make use of their creativity, the Americas Journal Club will be holding a poster design contest. Details on the contest can be found via this link.Ìý
