Steen Fryba Christensen, former Associate Professor at the Institute of Culture and Global Studies at Aalborg University, passed away - far too young. Steen was an eminent scholar working on Latin American political economy and international relations, in particular on the continent's relations with China. Steen was an alumnus and a good friend of Brazilian Studies at Aarhus University and member of Diálogos Latinoamericanos editorial board. He was a great person and will be missed. A great loss for Latin American Studies in Denmark and beyond.
