This one day training event is for postgraduate students embarking on fieldwork in Latin America and the Caribbean. Hosted by the Institute of Latin American Studies, the event features experienced researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. The event will introduce students to a range of strategies and techniques to design and execute their future research trips effectively, will prepare students for challenges they may encounter in the field, and will provide them with the opportunity to discuss their plans with experienced researchers. A small charge of £10 will cover the cost of catering.
This year we are also offering a limited number of travel bursaries. Priority will be given to those without access to Institutional funding. To apply for a travel bursary, please visit: https://bit.ly/2SLOrwk
