Details

A rare opportunity has emerged for graduate students conducting research on Caribbean topics. As part of ongoing efforts to promote Caribbean Studies at Cornell, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program is offering funding to conduct research that requires students to travel to the Caribbean or to libraries, archives, or other sites outside the Caribbean that hold collections or resources for the study of the Caribbean and its diasporas. Cornell graduate students in all disciplines are eligible to apply. The research should be conducted during Summer 2025 or Academic Year 2025-2026 and grantees are expected to submit a brief report (500 words) of what they accomplished with the funding.

Applications must include a brief description of the research topic, including information about the proposed research sites, a budget, and a research schedule. This description should not exceed 500 words. Requested funds should not exceed $2,000.

The deadline to submit your applications is May 9th, 2025. Please submit applications as a word or pdf file to Ernesto Bassi (eb577@cornell.edu(link sends email)), Judith Byfield (jab632@cornell.edu(link sends email)), and Luke Urbain (ltu2@cornell.edu(link sends email)). If you have any questions, please email professors Bassi and Byfield.

Speed Talks: Building Solidarity and Resistance

May 14, 2025

4:30 pm

This event has been postponed until fall 2025.

***

Join the Einaudi Center and researchers from across campus for three-minute speed talks and community conversation on ways to organize and push back against fast-moving federal actions.

Speakers will jump off from interdisciplinary and international research to provide a fresh perspective on current U.S. public policy and the potential for effective collective action. Together we'll look at challenges faced and solutions found in a variety of academic fields and places around the world—to help us think through how to unify disparate interests and find allies to resist democratic backsliding.

The event features clusters of speed talks on related topics, with time for Q&A and conversation on each topic.
