The Maker in Residence Program is an incubator for makers (artists, entrepreneurs in creative industries, scholars, designers, etc.) whose work is consciously located within a cultural diaspora and engaged with the contexts, impacts, and opportunities of migration and entrepreneurship in creative fields. Appointed to a 3-year research term professorship, the Maker in Residence spends their tenure with the University of Florida fulfilling three interlocking goals: 

• producing creative works and generating/experimenting with ideas aimed at activating and weaving together local and global networks to create tangible and intangible value.  

• partnering with members of the college, the university, and the community to apply the Maker in Residence’s expertise toward transformation and expansion across campus. 

• guiding and implementing initiatives on behalf of CAME within and beyond the university.
