CSRC Research

The CSRC initiates in-house research projects and provides grant support for faculty and graduate students across the campus. 

The CSRC's in-house projects, both current and completed, have broken new ground in the fields of sociology, education, media studies, art history, border issues, and women's rights.

Each spring the CSRC presents a one-day Education Summit that brings together scholars, educators, community representatives, policy makers, and students to explore viable policy recommendations and initiatives that can improve educational opportunity for Latina/o students.

The CSRC receives support for these projects from national, regional, and local foundations, corporations, and institutions:

Annenberg Foundation
California Community Foundation

Getty Foundation
The John Randolph Haynes Foundation
