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 Office of Public Scholarship and Engagement (PSE) has selected seven graduate students as Public Scholars for the Future fellows. The scholars include three L&S graduate students who will learn to integrate community-centered theories, methods and techniques into their disciplinary field of study, research design and methods.
Many students, especially those who identify as first-generation and/or underrepresented minority (URM) students, struggle with imposter syndrome and feel like outsiders to the academic spaces that they inhabit. Desirée Martín, associate professor of English, makes a case for building bridges between academic and home spaces for students, especially those who identify as first-generation and/or URM students.
