Miriam Jiménez Román was an Afro-Puerto Rican scholar, activist, and author on Afro-Latine culture. Her legacy is forever enshrined at the Latinx Project at NYU under the Miriam Jiménez Román Fellowship, designed for post-doctoral candidates and junior scholars whose research advances the study of Afro-Latine communities in the U.S. This panel brings together the most recent recipients of this fellowship and asks the question: what questions does Afro-Latine scholarship seek to answer? Join us in exploring what upcoming projects we can expect from these up and coming scholars.

Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
