Miriam Jiménez Román Fellowship (2024-2025)

The Miriam Jiménez Román Fellowship is designed for post-doctoral candidates and junior scholars whose research advances the study of Afro-Latinx communities in the U.S. The fellowship is open to all fields. In order to be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must have defended their dissertation or plan to defend their dissertation before the start of the fellowship on or after September 1, 2024. 

The selected candidate will spend a semester or a year with the NYU Latinx Studies academic community. The fellowship aims to allow the fellow to complete a major publication or a research project during the fellowship year. The fellow will also have access to limited funds (up to $5,000) to develop one public programming event around the focus of their research, to be hosted and supported by The Latinx Project. The fellow will receive a stipend of $45,000 for an academic year (or $22,500 for a one-semester fellow). Workspace at NYU will be provided for the duration of the fellowship

The fellowship is named after our dear former colleague Miriam Jiménez Román, a pioneer in the field of Afro Latinx Studies who taught the first courses on the subject at the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU. This fellowship aims to honor her legacy of mentorship and activism as an inspiring public intellectual and scholar of Afro Latinx studies.
