The Australian National Centre for Latin American Studies (ANCLAS) promotes research and teaching in Latin American Studies, particularly in the fields of the social sciences and humanities, business and economics. ANCLAS aims to promote mutual interest and exchange between Australian and Latin American scholars and to raise broader public awareness and understanding of Latin America in Australia.

More information on ANCLAS, events and seminars, fellowships available, undergraduate study, and the 2010 AILASA conference, visit the ANCLAS website.

ANCLAS hosts a regular seminar series which includes sponsored visits by Latin Americanists from elsewhere in Australia and overseas. These seminars provide a forum for those working in the field to come together to present and discuss their work. In addition, ANCLAS sponsors various research projects which bring together Australian and international scholars.

ANCLAS is situated at the Australian National University as a Centre within the College of Arts and Social Sciences. The ANCLAS Advisory Board includes members of the academic, diplomatic and business communities.
