Faculty members whose research focuses on the Caribbean came together at the University of Miami Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas to share current initiatives, evaluate possibilities for cross-disciplinary collaboration, and discuss how the institute can support these efforts.

The Hemispheric Caribbean Studies Group priorities include strengthening and expanding partnerships with Caribbean based colleagues, and supporting graduate education in Caribbean Studies at UM and more widely. Hemispheric Caribbean Studies builds on a long history of programs and collaborative initiatives at UM including Caribbean Literary and Cultural Studies and Caribbean-focused working groups of the former Center for Latin American Studies.
