The role of regional studies in the GUMELAB project ̶ Presentation at the Institute for Latin American Studies, 05.12.2022

What does it mean to engage in academia and research in the field of regional studies? Within the framework of the project module "Area Studies as a Project - Perspectives for the History, Present and Future of Latin American Studies" by Dr. Karina Kriegesmann, students discuss the historical constitution, the relevance of regional studies and the possible career prospects of regional scientists. The GUMELAB project was invited to talk about the role of regional studies within the project. The research is made possible by the BMBF funding guidelines "Understanding Society ̶ Designing the Future", which fund regional studies projects.
