This session included a panel of staff from the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR) and the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) who have edited, reviewed and published research with leading journals and publishers across Modern Languages, Area Studies and related fields. Their current editorial roles include the Journal of Romance Studies, the Bulletin of Latin American Research, Modern Languages Open, IMLR books and the Latin American Studies book series (University of London Press), and the Transnational Modern Languages book series (Liverpool University Press).
