| "Interpreting Latino Cultures: Research and Museums" Since 1994 IUPLR in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution has offered a yearly hands-on training program in methods of researching and interpreting museum and archival collections. The seminar challenges students to develop strong research skills as they explore issues of interpretation and representation of cultural materials and traditions in museums. Practicums in conducting object-based research and in accessing and using the collections of the Smithsonian, the National Archives, and the Library of Congress are key components of the program. Objectives:
Fellowships in the Humanities: Latino Cultural Research in a National Museum Context, 1998–2001 IUPLR, in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution Center for Museum Studies and with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, offered an interdisciplinary program of long-term and short-term residences at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The purpose of these residences was to make available the extensive Smithsonian Institution collections to scholars exploring humanities projects that link material culture with curatorial approaches and the politics of public display. The work encompasses in-depth and advanced research in the museum field contributing much-needed Latino studies perspectives and interpretation to topics related to many Smithsonian Institution museums and collections. 1998–1999: Latino Art Residences at the National Museum of American Art and the Archives of American Art Fellows: Alicia Gaspar de Alba, PhD, Victor Zamudio-Taylor, Terezita Romo 1999–2000: Latino History Residences at the National Museum of American History Fellows: George Sanchez, PhD; Gerald Poyo, PhD; Arlene Torres, PhD 2000–2001: Latino Cultural Studies Residences at the Center for Folklife Programs and Cultural Studies and the National Museum of Natural History Fellows: Anne Marie Stock, PhD; Nilda Villalta, PhD; Karin Weyland, PhD; Enrique Lamadrid, PhD; Ramón Gutiérrez, PhD Conference—"The Interpretation and Representation of Latino Cultures: Research and Museums" Held on November 20–23, 2002, this conference was based on the annual IUPLR Latino Graduate Training Seminar "Interpreting Latino Cultures: Research and Museums," which was first offered in 1994.
