Afro-Latinidades and World Diasporas is a Harvard-based initiative launched in the 2024–2025 academic year by Lecturer of Latinx studies Aitor Bouso Gavín, with support from the Committee on Ethnicity, Migration, Rights, the Provostial Fund for the Arts and Humanities, Observatorio Cervantes, and the Department of History.
