Latinx Research Initiative
The Carolina Latinx Center is excited to embark on a new program specifically for our graduate student scholars. The goal of the Latinx Research Initiative is to provide a space for our budding researchers to present their work to a captive audience and receive direct feedback from faculty. We hope this will begin to build a bigger ecosystem of support for our students to meet their academic goals inside and outside of the university.
Eligibility:
- Must be a current UNC graduate student
- Prepare a 25-35 minute presentation on the research topic of choice, all fields and majors invited to participate
- Must have submitted an application for selection, including naming 2-3 faculty members they wish to be in attendance
Perks:
- If selected, you will be invited to present at the Carolina Latinx Center, open to all to attend
- Will receive direct feedback from faculty in the field, as well as from attendees outside of their field/major
- Automatic entry into the running for the Innovation Carolina Latinx Center Award (recognizes a person who has generated new scholarship to help in approaching a problem or develop new insights and research within their field)
- If selected for the award, you will be given a financial grant to continue your research
