On Wednesday, October 25, Professor Matias Spektor presented his current research to students and faculty of the CLAS community. Following his presentation, attendees were able to ask questions and contribute to a dialogue about this ongoing project concerning transnational surveillance in Latin America. The database presented (LATS) is a micro-level dataset based on declassified foreign surveillance reports produced by autocratic Brazil over two decades (1966-1986). To learn more about the project, visit the event description under our LARS page. Thanks to Professor Spektor and the community for a productive and engaging conversation!
