The grant, Crossing Latinidades: Emerging Scholars and New Comparative Directions, works with schools that are classified as R-1, top-tier doctorate-granting universities.
The CUNY system has 16 HSIs and several Latinx research institutions. CUNY Chancellor Dr. Félix V. Matos Rodríguez said receiving this award during Hispanic Heritage Month is significant.
“We, at CUNY, in concert with other prominent universities, will work to ensure that this initiative leads to tangible advances in scholarship and that it will have an historic effect on the fields that contribute to Latinx Studies,” said Rodríguez.
