The University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI) has recently funded two projects led by faculty in the UC Davis College of Letters and Science that document the lives of marginalized people, both in the past and present.
The Department of Asian American Studies, Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, and Department of African and African American Studies each will receive $100,000 in funding as part of a new set of grants from the Mellon Foundation. The grants recognize the importance of studying race, ethnic, gender and sexuality.
