Brown University, Tougaloo College and the University of New Mexico School of Law have partnered to host a three-week summer research dialogue for rising third- and fourth-year undergraduates around issues of race, justice and the law as they have affected Indigenous peoples here before Columbus, people of African descent brought and enslaved and people of Hispanic descent here before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The initiative seeks to create opportunities for students to interact with established scholars writing on such topics and will include support for students to build on their summer work to create finished, publishable work during the academic year. Participants will be encouraged to consider career pathways in academia, law, and combinations thereof in hopes that they can, in the course of their careers, further ongoing conversations and work on the issues involved.
This forthcoming initiative will launch in Spring 2020 and is funded by a generous gift by Brown-Tougaloo Council member, Michael Gross ’64, P’93 P’05 and his wife Andrea Gross.
