FIU's Cuban Research Institute is pleased to welcome four new threatened Cuban scholars in the humanities for the fall semester of 2024: Carolina Barrero, an art historian currently living in Spain; Katherine Bisquet, a poet also resident in Spain; Marialina García Ramos, an anthropologist living in Mexico; and Camila Lobón, a visual artist based in the U.S.
Dr. Jorge Duany, Director of the Cuban Research Institute, will retire this Friday, September 13. Dr. Duany has had a long and distinguished academic career, with the last twelve years at the helm of CRI and as a professor in the Department of Global and Sociocultural Studies.
BBC's "More or Less: Behind the Stats" investigates the fall of Cuba's population by 10 percent in two years—just days after a demographer on the Caribbean island suggested an even bigger fall. Kate Lamble speaks to Dr. Emily Morris from University College London and Dr. Jorge Duany from the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University.
The FIU Exile Studies Program, together with CRI and other cosponsors, invite you to a lecture by Dr. Vanessa García as part of the lecture series "Giving Voice to Exile: The Privileges and Burdens of Inheritance." Dr. García is a Cuban American multidisciplinary writer—screenwriter, playwright, novelist, and journalist/essayist.
In the second edition of "Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know®," Dr. Jorge Duany unravels the fascinating and turbulent past and present of an island that is politically and economically tied to the United States, yet culturally distinct. The book provides a succinct, authoritative introduction to the island's rich history, culture, politics, and economy, as well as its diaspora.
The Frost Art Museum will hold an exhibition by Cuban artist Juan Carlos Alom, who has focused on Afro-Cuban culture in his photographic work. This panel discussion will bring together several experts to examine the major role of Afro-descendants in the development of Cuban music, religion, and art.
