Institute of Latin American Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS) was set up in 1965 at the University of London, with the objective of providing postgraduate level teaching and a focus for research on the literature, history, politics and economics of Latin America and the Caribbean. The institute is a member of London's School of Advanced Studies and, since August 2004, has merged with the Institute of United States Studies to become the Institute for the Study of the Americas.
In August 2004 the ILAS merged with the Institute of United States Studies (IUSS), both of which had been founded in 1965. They became the Institute for the Study of the Americas, which still forms part of the University of London’s School of Advanced Study.
