Does Princeton Need a Latino/a Studies Program?A CALL TO ALUMNIThe best University in the United States has paid relatively scant attention to Latino scholarship given the demographic surge which portends that a quarter of the population will be Latino/a within a generation. An excellent Latino program is necessary:
• To attract the brightest Latino/a scholars
• To remain at the forefront of academic excellence in the examination of ethnicity and identity
• To promote intellectual contributions to specific disciplines
• To contribute to the resolution of the major social issues of the 21st century
Latino/a intellectuals in Academe offer new, distinctive perspectives in all major disciplines; my own focus has been the social sciences (SPIA). Can the University draw together the brightest among them to study, inter alia, the impact of language and culture on thought and analysis?
