Research project
Afro-Latin Americans in U.S. Higher Education
This work examines how Afro-Latin American students are seen, counted, and served in U.S. higher education, and how institutional and regional contexts shape their sense of belonging. It develops a framework for recognizing Afro-Latin Americans within education research, policy, and discourse, resisting frames that treat Latiné communities as a monolith.
