Latinx | Latin American Race & Ethnicity Research Advisory Group

In order to ensure that CRE² included in our design an infrastructure to catalyze research on Latinx and Latin American race and/or ethnicity, in 2020, we convened a rapid, focused advisory group of leading scholars to advise us. The group had the following charge:

Latinx | Latin American Race & Ethnicity Research Advisory Group (LLARER)

This advisory group was charged with making recommendations to the CRE² leadership team on how to bolster support for and catalyze innovative research initiatives on race, ethnicity & equity across Latin America and throughout the Latinx diaspora. The group also explored how to best support cutting-edge learning opportunities with research components as well as community connections (across the University, within the STL region, or on a national/international scale) that may enhance CRE²’s and Washington University’s capacity for Latinx- and Latin American-focused scholarship. The group presented its recommendations for strengthening and expanding research in these areas in a final research design & initiatives document by December 1, 2020. The document included research design, development of innovative frameworks and methodologies, and specific proposals and action steps that can help position the University as a global leader in Latinx & Latin American race, ethnicity & equity research.

The group is currently on hiatus, with hopes to reconvene in the future.
