Centro Events
Request for Proposals
The Center for Puerto Rican Studies (Centro) seeks proposals for cultural and educational activities that contribute to our core mission, the study and interpretation of the Puerto Rican experience in the United States. We will give priority to activities that are useful to those in community organizations, public policy and academia.
Centro sponsors and co-sponsors events every semester related to the Puerto Rican experience in New York City and the United States. Our speaker forums focus on scholarship in the social sciences, humanities, and performance arts. Centro Graphics Collection exhibits feature the work of Puerto Rican and Latino artists, located in our library on the 3rd floor of Hunter College’s East building. Those interested can sign up on Centro’s website http://www.centropr.org/member.html to receive updates on Centro events, which are free and open to the public.
Currently, Centro Events are organized under the following thematic areas:
The Barrios Series — Portraits of specific neighborhoods, their architecture, commerce, communitybased organizations, and the impact of social change in each community.
Legacy Series — Conversations celebrating individual “pioneers” who broke new ground in their communities, organizations, public service, arts, and the media. Many of the participants have graciously donated their papers to the Centro Archives. The series will take place in the intimate setting of the Centro Library and Archives.
Research Seminar — Graduate students and faculty to present research-in-progress and receive feedback from the public. Working papers will be made available through our website.
Meet The Author — Events celebrating book releases or recent publications that, contribute to Puerto Rican studies.
Student Initiatives — Opportunity for young scholars to present their work and to explore emerging topics in Puerto Rican Studies.
Special Events — Events celebrating Puerto Rican Heritage Month and/or milestones reached by members and community based organizations.
Film Corner — Forum examining Puerto Rican films while introducing new works, artists and producers.
Exhibits—Displays of graphic arts, photos, and other historical documents high lining a collection or a topic.
