Global Latinx Jersey is an SAS-funded department project that promotes and expands public-facing interdisciplinary research on the Latinx presence in New Jersey (past and present) and adjacent regions in the U.S. northeast. They emphasize transnational connections to the Caribbean and Latin America, global and hemispheric movements of people and diverse community formations, and social justice-oriented solutions to the challenges of today. They support faculty and student research that connects the Caribbean and Latin America to New Jersey communities through historical, sociological, geographic, legal, urban, literary, artistic, and cultural, and other interdisciplinary lenses.
