As part of CLAS’s 60th anniversary, we revisit the Centre’s creation and longer history of #LatinAmericanStudies at #Cambridge.

Formally created on 11 June 1966, CLAS built on earlier teaching and research at the University.

Did you know…?

For almost 60 years, CLAS has welcomed distinguished Latin American scholars as visiting fellows.

Among them are two authors who would later receive the #NobelPrize in #Literature: Octavio Paz (1990) and Mario Vargas Llosa (2010).
