The Roberto C. Goizueta Distinguished
Presidential Residence Program
The Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC) of the University
of Miami Libraries seeks nominations and applications for the newly
established Roberto C. Goizueta Distinguished Presidential
Residence program that will welcome leading scholars and
professionals from around the world, with expertise in a wide range
of subjects aligned with the focus and scope of the CHC’s vast
repository of materials and resources on Cuba and the global Cuban
diaspora. Each Distinguished Presidential Fellow will be in
residence at the CHC for a twelve-month period, overlapping with
the university’s academic year. The first fellow will begin no
earlier than June 1st and no later than August 15th, 2022. The
Fellow’s main charge will be to conduct in-depth research on a
project of scholarly or artistic merit based on a particular area
or areas of the collection. The Fellow will also be responsible for
developing programming that engages with the university and the
greater public, including but not limited to delivering public
lectures, organizing panel discussions, and/or performances.
SCOPE & ELIGIBILITY
Faculty, researchers, independent scholars, and
non-academics (including visual and performing artists, writers,
filmmakers, musicians, playwrights, etc.) who are recognized
leaders in their respective fields will be eligible to serve as
Distinguished Fellows. This program will create a global community
of diverse and innovative thinkers, which will play a role in
expanding the CHC’s academic programming, as well as advance its
reputation as the premier destination for groundbreaking
interdisciplinary research in Cuban studies. https://www.library.miami.edu/chc/index.html
