About

Support for CSRC research projects comes from external gifts and grants, university programs, and direct CSRC funding. The CSRC initiates in-house research projects and community partnerships and provides grant support for faculty and graduate students from a range of departments across the campus. A number of the in-house projects have broken new ground in their respective fields: sociology, public health, education, media studies, art history, immigration rights, border issues, and women’s rights.

A Ver: Revisioning Art History

The award-winning A Ver: Revisioning Art History book series stems from the conviction that individual artists and their coherent bodies of work are the foundation for a meaningful and diverse art history.

California Freedom Summer and the Thriving Youth Study are two community-engaged research projects led by Veronica Terriquez, Director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, in collaboration with the UCLA Institute of American Cultures (IAC), and many other community and educational partners from across California.
