Aldo Barrita (Psychology) was one of the two UNLV graduate students accepted at the Crossing Latinidades to take place at the University of Illinois at Chicago this summer. The institute’s goal is to equip participants who are already thinking of dissertation ideas with increased competence to enable intellectual innovation and expanded views of the field of Latino humanities studies before advancing to candidacy. The in-person pre-dissertation summer institute at UIC brings cohorts of 32 second- and third-year pre-dissertation Ph.D. consortial students from 16 different institutions, including UNLV.
