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.

The Latinx Sound Cultures Studies (LSCS) Research Working Group brings together Chicana/x and Latina/x scholars whose research engages with thinking about sound as a medium for the creative formation of political subjects in contemporary media. A group of pre-doctoral fellows support research activities through individual fieldwork, collaborative scholarship, and cross-institutional pedagogical projects.
