CUNY DSI’s Summer Internship Program provides graduate and undergraduate students with meaningful research experience in the field of Dominican Studies. Participants work collaboratively and under the guidance of CUNY DSI scholars from the Institute’s Research Unit and Dominican Library and Archives.
While at CUNY DSI, summer interns immerse themselves in foundational Dominican Studies texts, develop a research agenda, and refine a comprehensive research project. Throughout their time at the Institute, they will have access to our specialized library catalog and one-of-a-kind archival collections as well as the support of our expert staff in the Dominican Library and Archives. While developing their research project, summer interns receive guidance and feedback from a small array of researchers focusing on Dominican/Latino Studies, including Director and Professor, Dr. Ramona Hernández and Chief Librarian, Prof. Sarah Aponte.
