Introducing RESI’s Advisory Board
The Race & Ethnic Studies Institute is proud to welcome our new advisory board who will be charged with assessing the qualifications of grant applications and offering guidance on key issues. This group of established faculty members bring decades of experience and research expertise.
RESI’s Advisory Board
The Race & Ethnic Studies Institute aims to be the premier research institute of its kind in Texas and the nation. As such, RESI relies on its advisory board to provide expert advice on the development of the institute while highlighting the strengths and academic leadership in research relating to the salience of race and ethnic studies at Texas A&M University. The advisory board is composed of faculty who have a proven record of successful publication and a robust research profile.
The board advises and assists the Director of RESI on key processes, outcomes and activities of the institute. They provide essential guidance on our funding programs (research-related grants and fellowships), including the evaluation of applications and make recommendations on research initiatives. In addition, members enhance the infrastructure of the institute by bringing together a strong research background and perspectives relevant to enhancing race and ethnic studies.
Advisory Board Members
The Advisory Board has nine seats, which are filled by faculty within the College of Arts & Sciences at Texas A&M University. One additional is held by an External Advisor, a member outside of the institution with strong academic and industry experience in race and ethnic studies.
