RESEARCH

The Institute´s research unit advocates for the production and dissemination of practical and reliable knowledge to advance the well-being and prosperity of the Dominican people in the United States. Because of this emphasis, CUNY DSI's scholarship has received extensive media attention and the Institute has earned a reputation as the most prestigious think tank in the United States devoted to Dominican Studies. Often, research sponsored by the CUNY DSI generates headlines in major U.S. newspapers, both in English and Spanish, in addition to receiving considerable media coverage in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

Dominican Studies Research Monograph Series

CUNY DSI publishes a monograph series in the field of Dominican Studies. The series documents scholarly research on the Dominican experience in the United States, the Dominican Republic, and other parts of the world.  The texts published in the series are, for the most part, the result of research undertaken or sponsored by the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute.
