Meet one of CENTRO’s 2025–2026 Rooted + Relational Fellows.

An anthropologist whose research centers Puerto Rican and Latinx labor and representation within U.S. creative and media industries.

This year’s theme, “Boricuas in Relation,” explores how Puerto Rican communities—across the archipelago and diaspora—have long formed political, cultural, and kinship ties in dialogue with other racial and ethnic communities.

Throughout the year, fellows will engage in research, archival work, creative practice, and public scholarship that reflects CENTRO’s mission and the relational histories of Puerto Rican life.

Join us at the Rooted + Relational Symposium in May, where fellows will share their work with the public.
