Latitudes is the short name of the Latin
American Research Platform, an independent site and association of
researchers, academics and citizens based in Australia. Latitudes aims
to debate and investigate the politics, cultures and histories of
Latin America and connect with other Southern perspectives and territories.
Among our collective projects are the publication of books and essays; the creation of archives; the organisation of public and academic events; and the dissemination of research about Latin America.

We have published
the books The Feathers of Condor: State Terrorism, Exiles and Civilian
Anticommunism in South America and 40 years are nothing: History and memory of the 1973 coups
d’etat in Uruguay and Chile (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, UK).
The latter publication compiled a selection from papers presented at the
October 2013 conference 40 years are nothing, at the
University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia. We have also
organised a series of academic debates in 2014 and 2016,
and independent public events. We produce collective initiatives to widen the perspectives on Latin America in Australia and elsewhere.
