The CSRC Library is pleased to host to an exhibition of artworks from students' final projects for CCAS 113: Day of the Dead Ritual & Visual Culture, taught by Gaby R. Gomez in Summer Session C, 2024. On view through December 13!
Esteemed cultural historian Tomás Ybarra-Frausto relates Mesa-Bains’s life to contemporary events and her artistic and intellectual production to her concept of domesticana (a feminist interpretation of rasquachismo) and her mestiza identity.
The CSRC has published four reports based on findings from its Thriving Youth Study conducted in 2023-24 in Oxnard, California. Drawing on extensive data collected from a youth-led initiative involving over 3,000 local residents aged 18 to 34, the reports highlight the challenges and barriers facing young adults in this community.
Rotating exhibitions drawn from CSRC collections are on display inside the library and in the vitrine at the entrance.
The Fall 2024 issue presents an overview of student activism at UCLA in spring 2024, looks at how Chicanx communities influence and negotiate social change, and considers how media texts reflect violence and exploitation with Chicanx communities. The Chicano poet Alfred Arteaga is the focus of the Dossier, and Vicente Telles is the featured artist. Print and online subscriptions available!
Since its founding in 1969, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) has played a pivotal role in the development of scholarly research on the U.S. Chicano-Latino population. Our research mission is supported by five distinct components: a library with special collections archive, an academic press, collaborative research projects, public and academic programs, and community-based partnerships.
 

The CSRC is proud to be a part of the Institute of American Cultures. We actively collaborate with the Institute's three other ethnic studies research centers and other campus units. Groundbreaking projects include:
