May 27, 2022 - Mary Beth King
Three University of New Mexico professors are winners of the Crossing Latinidades Collaborative, Cross Institutional, and Comparative Research Working Groups and Latino Humanities Studies Grant Competition, sponsored by the Mellon Foundation.
The projects examine and support shared knowledge creation, new ways of thinking to reflect on the current changing configurations of Latinos/as/x in the United States, and new research projects that significantly impact and grow the field of Latino Humanities Studies.
Professor Rebecca Schreiber of the Department of American Studies, associate professor of Art History Kency Cornejo, and Doris Careaga-Coleman, assistant professor in the Chicana-Chicano Studies Department are all winners of the grant competition based on the quality of their research proposals. Each research working group will receive a total award of $310,000—$100,000 for the research project, $30,000 for three $10,000 summer stipends for PIs, and the assignment of six doctoral fellows who have completed the Summer Institute in Latino Humanities Studies Methodologies and Theories. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $30,000 per academic year with tuition, fees, and health insurance covered by the fellow’s university. In addition, each president/chancellor is offering a course release per year for two years to each PI at their universities.
