California Studies¶
uchri.org/page.php?page_id=1252
Particularly encouraged are proposals for projects that include joint fundraising efforts by multiple campuses working in collaboration. “Multi-campus” research groups are defined as involving three or more UC campuses.
As the thematic title “California Cartographies” suggests, the UCCSC strives toward comprehensive critical mappings and re-mappings of California and its cultures. It is interested in California as a site of global intersections and circulations—culturally, economically, and politically. This research initiative supports projects invested in sustained, multidisciplinary, and differently situated notions of intersection, power, history, language, migration and movement. The UCCSC hopes to supplement a more traditional sense of California Studies by dealing squarely with questions of public pedagogy that address the antagonisms comprising what it means to be a “Californian.”
Projects should be thematically driven, exploding current theoretical lenses to create a prism that includes interests as diverse as nativism and the environment to prisons, industry and the military. To refocus the topic of California away from its common identifiers to its underlying layers of contradiction—labor, resources, scarcity, race, tourism, technology, recreation, suburbia, for example—would expand our understanding of California’s complex relationship(s) to the world at large. We are excited by the implications of such critical mappings for research, teaching, engaged learning, digital archives and resources. We also hope to identify and harvest projects that will contribute to a complex digital prism of virtual representation for California Studies in web-based form
