CROSSING
LATINIDADES
The Crossing Latinidades Humanities Research Initiative ignites cross-institutional and cross-regional comparative research, training of doctoral students, and new scholarship in emerging areas of inquiry about U.S. Latinos/as/x/e. Funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation, the initiative serves as the initial anchor of the consortium of R1 Hispanic Serving Institutions established and led by the University of Illinois at Chicago (2020-2022). The consortium under a new name since June 2022⎯Alliance of Hispanic Serving Research Universities⎯is now chaired by the University of Texas at El Paso.
