The central goal of this project, funded by the Humanities Writ Large Initiative, is to expand the bridges we have begun building between Duke and the Durham Latino communities and simultaneously make them into bi-directional ones. In other words, we will seek to offer means for the Latino community to have greater access to our university and to have Duke students engage the community both in the community and here at Duke. Duke can be changed by these relationships, as will the community that surrounds us; thus the metaphor of the two-way bridge.
