CENTRO, in partnership with Princeton University (@princeton), is proud to announce the launch of the second iteration of the Bridging the Divides Fellowship, generously funded by a $1.2 million grant from the Mellon Foundation (@mellonfoundation).

This second Study Group, which will run from September 2023 to May 2024, will be led by Yarimar Bonilla (@yarimarita), former CENTRO Directora and Professor at Princeton’s Effron Center, and Deepak Lamba-Nieves (@deepakln), Research Director & Churchill G. Carey, Jr. Chair in Economic Development Research at the Center for a New Economy. They will build a partnership between CENTRO and Princeton that, alongside alliances with other institutions and programs, will support this Study Group’s intersectional approach to disaster impact and recovery.
