We are LAWN

The Latin America at Warwick Network (LAWN) connects an interdisciplinary group of scholars across the university whose research and teaching relates to Latin America.

The strong tradition of Latin American research at Warwick, which dates back nearly to the university’s founding, has built a strong collective of scholars with interests in the region across the Humanities, Social Sciences, Business, and beyond.

LAWN seeks to strengthen this cross-campus community of scholars and to raise the profile of the diverse work taking place on Latin America at Warwick.
