Description
Cátedra SLAS is a partnership between the Society for Latin American Studies (SLAS) and the Instituto de Iberoamérica at the Universidad de Salamanca. It supports a short teaching visit by a UK-based scholar, designed to foster collaboration between the institute and the UK. The visiting scholar delivers an eight-hour, master's-level course worth one ECTS credit over one week, usually Monday to Thursday, in either semester one or semester two.
Courses may address any aspect of Latin American Studies. Preference may be given to cultural studies, anthropology, international relations, development studies and gender studies. Teaching takes place in Spanish, ideally through seminar-based classes emphasising discussion. Students receive assigned reading before classes and complete a 1,500-word essay, with the visiting scholar setting the question and marking the work.
