Centre for Amerindian, Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CAS) Theses
The Centre for Amerindian, Latin American and Caribbean Studies has existed in St Andrews under different names since before 1969, when it was formally recognised by the Court of the University as the Centre of Latin American Linguistic Studies (CLALS). Refounded in 1988 as the Institute of Amerindian Studies (IAS), it later became the Centre for Indigenous American Studies and Exchange (CIASE), part of what is now the School of Philosophical, Anthropological and Film Studies. Relaunched as CAS in 2006, it continues to enjoy a privileged link with the Department of Social Anthropology.
