The Cuban Research Institute draws upon the expertise of nearly sixty faculty members, the largest nucleus of specialists on Cuba or the Cuban American community of any university in the United States. Specializing in twenty-three different disciplines, CRI's faculty associates come from various colleges and schools throughout the university, from the humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences and the professional schools. Every year, CRI's faculty associates teach courses and conduct research on diverse topics such as Cuban politics, history, geography, music, literature, film, and biology.
