Description
The Institute of American Cultures at UCLA offers in-residence Visiting Research Scholar appointments supporting research on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. The program provides visiting scholars with time and research support to investigate these populations and their changing social and cultural realities.
The Institute especially encourages work that advances understanding of the dramatic population shifts of recent decades. Its priorities include greater heterogeneity within ethnic groups and increased interethnic contact, placing both diversity within communities and relationships between communities at the center of its research interests. Appointments are intended for scholars who currently hold permanent academic positions.
