The Institute for the Study of the Americas (ISA) established the Latino Migration Project in collaboration with the Center for Global Initiatives in recognition of the need to understand the impact and implications of the expanding Latin American presence in North Carolina.
Through scholarship, by way of classroom instruction and graduate training, through advocacy of community engagement, and support for enlightened public policy, the Latino Migration Project works towards the following goals:
- To foster the development of communities in North Carolina in which diverse groups engage one another with respect and dignity and participate with good-will in on-going dialogues.
- Disseminate accurate and timely information about immigration issues relevant to the general public well-being.
- Coordinate and develop teaching, research, program, and policy initiatives relating to Latin Americans and their communities in North Carolina.
