América Invertida, dibujo del pintor uruguayo Joaquín Torres García, 1943 (Museo Juan Manuel Blanes, Montevideo)

Constance and Latin America

The study of Latin America is a focus of teaching and research in various humanities and social science subjects at the University of Konstanz, such as literature and cultural studies, linguistics, ethnology, sociology and political science.

More information on partner institutions and events can be found under Teaching. Moreover, the University of Konstanz has maintained close relations with Latin America since the time of its foundation. After the 1973 coup against Salvador Allende's government, exiled Chileans were welcomed in solidarity. A mural in the area of the Audimax bears witness to this politically explosive phase. The history of this mural is being researched as part of a research project (see Research and Projects section).
