Anglo America and Latin America: cultural, language, social, and political contrasts between industrial nations and so-called developing and emerging countries are encountered more in ‘the Americas’ than in just about any other region in the world. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has now approved a Center for Regional Research on ‘the Americas as Space of Entanglement(s)’ at Bielefeld University. The project is being funded to the tune of more than three million Euros over a period of four years. On 1 February, the leading scientists and their postdoctoral students will start their preparations. The project will provide jobs for fifteen scientists and one administrator. Renowned scientists from Canada, the United States, Latin America, and Europe will contribute to the opening conference from 6 to 8 May.
