Puerto Rico neighborhood with painted flag

The Boriqua Scholars interdisciplinary working group brings together Puerto Rican history and anthropological inquiry to couple investigations of Puerto Rico’s colonial status with the broader cultural, social, and epistemological contributions of the archipelago and its diaspora. This working group provides a critical space for prioritizing the role of Puerto Rico within Caribbean history and cultural studies.
