During her residency at CUNY DSI, she will update the Institute\u2019s landmark study \u201cAgainst all Odds: Dominican Students in New York.\u201d In addition, she will continue her research on the predictive value of socio-demographic, language acquisition, college experience and placement test variables in the academic success of immigrant students. <\/P> Dr. Reyes-Santos teaches courses in Latin American Studies, African Diaspora Studies, globalization, and Caribbean literature. She focuses her research and publications on race and gender issues in the Spanish Caribbean, with a particular expertise in Dominican-Haitian and Dominican-Puerto Rican relations. Her project at CUNY DSI is a study of U.S.-Dominican racial, ethnic, and national identity, drawing on census data, current literature, and a survey of Dominicans residing in Washington Heights and the Bronx. She will examine how variables such as level of political participation in the city of New York, relationship to the Dominican Republic, educational experiences, and economic status, inform processes of identity formation in Dominican communities. CUNY DSI is also hosting an undergraduate exchange student from the Free University of Berlin, Natalie Wagner, who is pursuing her interest in Dominican Studies under the auspices of the German National Academic Foundation. In addition to her courses in Latin American Studies at City College, Wagner is engaged in an independent study project with Professor Hern\u00e1ndez on Dominican migration to the United States from 1892 to 1924, as revealed by Ellis Island archives.
