About the Southwest Borderlands Initiative
Arizona State University's Tempe campus announced the Southwest Borderlands
(SWB) initiative in 2001 as a long term faculty appointment plan
with two primary objectives: the strengthening of existing ASU scholarly
and instructional resources on the Southwest with emphasis on the
region along the United States-Mexico border, and enhancing institutional
recruitment and retention efforts toward building a faculty fully
reflective of the Southwest Borderlands' diversity.
Designed with
broad-based campus input as a major ASU faculty hiring plan, the
continuing
initiative seeks to integrate current ASU strengths in borderlands
research with bold innovation in faculty recruitment. The regional
needs and shifting demographics of the borderlands of the U.S. Southwest
are strategic areas of keen concern for many academic, policy, and
other researchers. These needs and population changes have had extraordinary
impact on multiple communities throughout the region, including business,
education, health, housing, law enforcement, sports and entertainment,
and many others.
Through the SWB concept ASU builds upon its scholarly,
instructional, and related institutional assets to respond to these
pressing needs, particularly in the areas of Borderlands Arts & Culture,
Borderlands Social & Cultural Policy, and Latina/o
Health.
Arizona State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer.
