LATINO HISTORY & CULTURE Wednesday March 28, 11:30 AM, MC200 Jorge L. Chinea, Ph.D. Associate Professor, History Director, Center for Chicano-Boricua* Studies . Wayne State University Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Spanish Harlem, New York City, Jorge Chinea's childhood was challenging as he faced the inevitable culture shock experienced by newcomers to the United States. Although he liked school, he could not speak English and soon dropped out. Fortunately, he learned of an urban renewal program that offered to train inner-city youth to take care of their communities. The Renigades of Harlem, as his former gang was known, began to clean the neighborhood of trash, abandoned buildings, and drug dealers. This experience motivated Chinea to get a high school equivalency diploma and later apply for college. Recruited by the Educational Opportunity Program at the State University of New York (SUNY), he completed bachelors and masters degrees and went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1994, specializing in colonial Latin American history. Since then, he was been awarded fellowships and grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Society for Irish Latin American Studies, among others. Recognized in the 1996 edition of Who's Who in the Midwest, he was the 1999 recipient of the Wayne State University President's Award for Excellence in Teaching and a 2006 Board of Governors Faculty Recognition Award.
