The University of London

The University of London is a leading UK provider of distance and digital education internationally, offering programmes to 45,000 students in 190 countries around the world. Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global.

We are a national leader in the humanities, and we promote their value to society and the economy through knowledge creation and exchange.

The Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies

The Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS) supports research in the integrated study of languages, cultures, and societies. Though its strengths reside primarily within the fields of French and Francophone, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American/Caribbean studies, it supports the transnational study of languages and cultures while seeking to advance connections with organisations that focus on cultural and linguistic experience in other global contexts. Its staff’s expertise bridges literary, historical, ethnographic, and digital research, with a particular emphasis on postcolonial and migration studies, and the environmental humanities.

The Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) was established in April 2021 as a centre within ILCS, continuing the activity of the former Institute of Latin American Studies. CLACS is an interdisciplinary centre committed to serve and facilitate the work of the Latin American Studies community in the UK and worldwide. The Centre supports scholarship across a wide range of subject fields in the humanities and cognate social sciences and actively maintains and builds ties with cultural, diplomatic and business organisations with interests in Latin America.

Along with seven other discipline-specific research institutes and specialist hubs for Digital Humanities and Public Engagement, ILCS forms part of the School of Advanced Study.
