CCHS Annual Report 03/04

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT, 2003-2004
Initial Goals

The Center for Chicano Studies at UCSB was founded in 1969 as a response to student and faculty demands for the study of the Mexican and Chicano populations in the United States. The Center has also participated in the development of programs aimed at addressing questions of community education and Chicano/Latino under-representation among students and faculty.

Since its inception the Center has served as the campus ORU for sponsored research in Chicana/Chicano Studies and participates in the recruitment and retention of Chicano/Latino faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as working with the larger Chicano/Latino community in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. It is one of only two ORU's in the University of California system devoted to such goals.

Current Mission

The Mission Statement of the Center is to serve the students, faculty, and staff of the University of California. Together with the Chicano Studies Department, it supports research that promotes the national and international needs of the field of the Chicano/Latino population of California and the nation.

The UCSB Chicano student's hunger strike of 1994 further underscored the need for a strong research agenda aimed at this underserved and growing population. As the size of the Latino population in California grows and becomes more diversified (currently one third), we expect the need for this scholarship to increase.

The Center brings together scholars from all regions of the United States and abroad, hosts conferences, symposia, faculty work groups, collaborative projects, lectures, performances, and publications. The Center also houses the Luis Leal Chair and hosts scholars and artists in residence that share their expertise with the faculty and students. Last year the Center started an innovative pilot program with CICESE (Centro de Investigacìon Cientifica y de Educacìon Superior de Ensenada), in Baja California that tries to unite the social sciences with the natural sciences, and this year we hosted a number of activities with the University of Vera Cruz, Mexico.

The Center's Research Scholar for 2003-2004 was Mario Caro, Assistant Professor of Visual Studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. Professor Caro's research project while at UCSB focused on the examination of the aesthetic practices and strategies employed by contemporary native artists of the Americas in representing the self. Caro collaborated with Assistant Professor Cristina Venegas of Film Studies to put together a very innovative program of Native American filmmakers in the context of the CineMedia Festival.

Professor María Herrera-Sobek of the Chicana/o Studies Department continues as the Luis Leal Endowed Chair. Raymond Huerta, formerly Affirmative Action Officer for the university who retired last year, is currently utilizing the space normally occupied by the Luis Leal Chair office. Huerta is working with the Center on the successful Queretaro, Mexico summer exchange program as well as other activities dealing with exchanges abroad.

The Center staff consists of Business Officer Theresa Peña and Administrative Assistant Karen Cisneros. The Center Director has been on board for two years and has acclimatized himself into the fabric of the campus and Santa Barbara community. TOP

2003-2004 MAJOR GRANT ACTIVITY

Enlace Program (Kellogg Foundation Grant, $1.5 million)

In 2000 UCSB became one of the 18 sites selected nationwide by the Kellogg Foundation for the program Engaging Latino Communities for Education (ENLACE). The ENLACE project was designed by Professor Denise Segura (Sociology) and Professor Richard Duran (Education). In partnership with three local city colleges and numerous K-12 schools the program has constructed an outreach pipeline that promotes education among Chicano/Latino studies from primary, secondary and university venues.

A crucial component, as it pertains to the Center, is the research dimension that tracks students as they move through the different tiers of education to gage dropout and retention rates of the bourgeoning Chicano/Latino student population. The grant has received considerable matching funds from supporting institutions and its program has been extended to June 2005. Program director Claudia Martinez is actively writing new grant proposals to continue ENLACE beyond the expiration date.

The Dynamics of Chicana/o Cultural Literacy (Rockefeller Foundation Grant, $228,000)

According to Principal Investigator Carl Gutierrez-Jones, "the aim of this project was to rethink Chicana/o arts in terms of the startling displacements and ongoing migrations occurring within the modern period. One key assumption is that the politically-engaged aesthetic experiments which typify Chicana/o art cannot be fully understood in an analytical frame focused primarily on the nation state and nationalism." This successful grant ended last year with the residency of three Rockefeller Scholars.

Professor Ramon Gutierrez of UC San Diego did research at the Chicano Studies collection at UCSB to complete his "Community, Patriarchy, and Individualism" book. Monica Brown, Assistant Professor of English at Northern Arizona University wrote a book, My Name is Celia/Me Llamo Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz, illustrated by Raphael Lopez and Monica Palacios, a performance artist from Los Angeles, wrote an original play, "Sweet Peace," that was staged at the Paseo Nuevo theatre in downtown Santa Barbara.

Laboring Toward the 21st Century: Rethinking Interdisciplinary Research on the Latina/o Working Poor (University of California Chicana/o and Latina/o Related Research, $50,000)

Funding from UCCLR supports this project and its stated goals are to promote research on Chicana/o and Latina/o working poor communities in California. The working group consists of Carl Gutierrez-Jones (English), Maria Herrera-Sobek (Chicana/o Studies), Francisco Lomeli (Chicana/o Studies/Spanish and Portuguese, Juan Vicente-Palerm (Anthropology), and Denise Segura (Sociology).

According to Coordinator Denise Segura the highlights of their research activities were:

A. Chicano Art Forms in Community Dialogue - Maria Herrera-Sobek and Art Historian Guisela de la Torre organized a series of art showings and lectures including an exhibition of Maya Gonzalez's work at the Multicultural Center Gallery.

B. Mexico-U.S. Research Exchange Program - Professors Huerta, Herrera-Sobek, Lomeli and Segura taught courses in Queretaro, Mexico. Over 50 undergraduates took classes in Queretaro.

C. Undergraduate Research Internship Program - Training undergraduate students in research on Chicano/Latino working poor populations through the Enlace and Avance program.

D. UCCLR Publications Unit - Journals, monographs, and other publications that disseminate faculty research efforts. Includes a bilingual journal, Ventana Abierta edited by Professor Emeritus Luis L. Leal and Victor Fuentes.TOP

2003-2004 COMMUNITY IMPACT

The Center for Chicano Studies is currently the only research unit in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties devoted to the study of Chicana/o and Latina/o populations, thus it is increasingly called upon to provide information to local community agencies, community leaders, as well as state and national entities. Public service is one of its mission statements as it strives to integrate itself with the larger Chicano/Latino population.

The prime example of the Center's involvement with the community is the ENLACE program that supports college aspirations among Latino Students and works very closely with their families through student mentorship and family advocacy in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Recently, in partnership with MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) a new program (Padres Adelante) was launched. This involves parents in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Oxnard who will participate in a series of workshops that focus on understanding the school system, parent rights and responsibilities, the road to the university, and the politics of education.

RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT

The Center is also involved in developing strategies for the recruitment and retention of faculty who conduct research in Chicana/o Studies. One of the results of the Hunger Strike of 1994 was a promise to provide release time for non-tenured faculty in the Department of Chicano Studies. In 2003-2004 the Department of Chicana/o Studies designated Fellow was Professor Tara Yosso. Next academic year the Center will work with newly named Affirmative Action Officer Joseph Castro in promoting the recruitment of Latino new faculty and retention of current faculty.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCES FOR GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

One of the goals of the UCCLR sponsored project "Laboring Toward the 21st Century: Rethinking Interdisciplinary Research on the Latina/o Working Poor" is to mentor graduate and undergraduate students. ENLACE's Principal Investigator's Richard Duran (Education) and Denise Segura (Sociology) are analyzing the rich and complex data coming from the field.

The Center hosted a grants writing workshop conducted by Carla Whitacre and Barbara Herr-Harthorn that was attended by six graduate students from different departments on campus including Materials, Engineering, and Letters and Science.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES

In 2003 the Center Director, Carlos Morton, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CICESE (Centro de Investigacìon Cientifica y de Educacìon Superior de Ensenada, Baja California), and the Center for Chicano Studies at UCSB issuing a call for students to conduct research during 2004 in Ensenada, Mexico. Although the Center received half a dozen applications, money did not arrive from the OR in time to fund students for the summer. The Director intends to use the $1000 allocated from OR to promote the collaboration, inviting a CICESE Marine Biologist, Lydia Ladah, and her students to UCSB to continue the pilot program between the two institutions.

The Director has also begun an exchange with the University of Vera Cruz, Mexico. Carlos Morton and other UC colleagues from San Diego (Jorge Huerta) and Los Angeles (Jose Luis Valenzuela) participated in a series of seminars and conferences on Chicano Theatre at the main Xalapa campus in Vera Cruz. In addition, the School of Theatre in Xalapa staged one of Morton's plays, "Suerte Illegal,"

In March of 2004 researchers and academics from UCSB also participated in a Conference on the "Afro-Mestizo," with researchers from the University of Vera Cruz. Professors Francisco Lomeli, Maria Herrera-Sobek, Charles Li, Sylvia Y. Curtis, Library-Information Services, UCSB, William Jones, Research Fellow Center for Black Studies, Raymond Huerta, Richard Huizar, Political Science Graduate Student.

Mexico-U.S. Research Exchange Program Queretaro

The Mexico-U.S. Research Exchange Program, that builds on the previous work of Professors Huerta, Palerm, Lomeli and Segura, pursued its fifth summer session program in Queretaro, Mexico during 2004. Faculty supported with UCCLR funds attended two month-long sessions in Mexico in order to teach and solidify research development there. Approximately 50 undergraduates participated in the program.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Teatro Related Events

2003-2004 saw a number of Chicano/Latino theatre related events on the UCSB campus initiated and/or co-sponsored by the Center for Chicano Studies. The Center sponsored a Playwriting Contest that received over forty entries from all over the country. The prize of $2,000 won by Ricardo Bracho, also our Artist-In-Residence for this coming year. Bracho's play, "Sissy," received a staged reading during summer 2004 directed by Luis Moreno in the context of the New Work Festival. This new initiative, produced by Dramatic Arts Professor Naomi Iizuka, received numerous grants written through the Center that also featured a reading of a new play by New Mexico based writer Jimmy Santiago Baca.

In February of 2004 the Center sponsored a "Homenaje to Jorge Huerta" celebrating his graduation thirty years ago from the Department of Drama Arts at UCSB. Huerta was the first Chicano to be awarded a Ph.D. in Theatre and went on to co-found El Teatro de la Esperanza on the UCSB campus in 1973. Former theatre members Jose Luis Valenzuela, Diane Rodriguez, Marta Hernandez, Evelina Fernandez, and Ginger Huerta attended the day long homeage to Huerta, an Associate Chancellor's Professor at UC San Diego.

The Director of the Center, Carlos Morton, started an outreach program "Teatro as a Tool for Teaching" in 2003, thanks to a several small grants from Campus Outreach Initiative and UCIRA. The Santa Barbara Theatre Company, under the direction of Jami Gina Olsen, toured "The Drop Out," a play written by Morton. It was performed ten times at different high schools like Dos Pueblos, Hueneme, Santa Barbara, Lompoc, as well as at UCSB and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The Center was recently awarded a $15,000 grant from UC MEXUS to continue the "Teatro as a Tool for Teaching" project next year.

Finally, Rockefeller Fellow Monica Palacios successfully staged her new work "Sweet Peace," at the Paseo Nuevo theatre to packed houses. The play received a "Indy Award" sponsored by the Santa Barbara Independent Weekly newspaper.

Visions from the Heart Lecture Series

The lecture series Visions from the Heart, currently in its ninth year of existence to promote artistic expression and cultural exchanges, offered a program of varied presentations and activities. The central objective of the lecture series is to attract cutting edge artists or presenters who can contribute to the overall campus intellectual life. Among the participants were: Tom Miller, a specialist on border culture and the images of immigration; Ricardo Bracho, a Latino playwright. A Latin American singer from Honduras; Guillermo Anderson; and an animated event of La Noche Centroamericana which combined food, poetry and panel discussions. The lecture series is coordinated by Prof. Francisco Lomeli in an effort to promote expression and discussion on Latinos and Chicanos on campus.
Una Tarde Centro Americana:
Central American Pleasures and Cultures at UCSB

On May 17, 2004, a hundred students and guests convened at the Multicultural Center for "Una Tarde Centro Americana," exploring Central American Studies in the United States. With young scholars from throughout California, including recent UCSB Ph.D. Alma Alfaro, UC Berkeley Ph.D. Candidate Gustavo Adolfo Guerra Vásquez, and UCLA Ph.D. student Leisy Abrego, guest speakers shared their ongoing research on Central American cultures and politics. Following presentations on women writers, gender and masculinity, and reinventions of the Salvadoran family, the audience had the opportunity to ask questions about immigration and adaptation experiences of Central Americans.

Anayvette María Bran, Omar Baños, Wálfred López, Gustavo Adolfo Guerra Vásquez, and Leisy Abrego read their literary creations in the evening, with the comical theatrical performance of José Gerónimo and music completing the gathering.

Durante 2003/2004 VA, edited by Professors Luis Leal and Víctor Fuentes, published
numbers 14 and 15 of Vol. IV and numbers 16/17 of Vol. V. Number 14 is of special interest because the illustrations were done by the Chicano local artist Alvaro Suman. It contains a short story by Raymond Huerta titled, "El muerto desconocido," based on an experience the author had in Querétaro, Mexico, the Day of the Dead. According to the editors, Ray es un autor en cierne que promete como narrador. Le aconsejamosque siga escribiendo.

This number also contains the poem "Recuerdo" by Frida Kahlo, the only one she ever published. It also contains a note by Professor Francisco Lomelí "En Memoria" of the recently deceased Chicano writer Sabine R. Ulibarrí, the New Mexico author of the popular collection of stories Tierra Amarilla, and the poem "Memory de un niño de tres años by the name of Aunobias" by our Center director, Professor Carlos Morton. A rich number indeed, highly recommended.
