UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center

Since its founding in 1969, the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) has established a national reputation for cutting-edge research that addresses the needs, impact, and contributions of the Chicano and Latino populations in the United States.

Current CSRC research projects focus on public policy, public health, education, law, economic security, media impact, the arts, and social change.

The CSRC houses and provides public access to the largest Chicano archival holdings in the state, runs an award-winning academic press, curates groundbreaking exhibitions, and sponsors free public programs year-round.

The CSRC's efforts represent a dynamic model for achieving the UCLA institutional priorities of academic excellence, civic engagement, and diversity.
