Research Clusters

Research clusters are groups of faculty or faculty and graduate students pursuing a collaborative research effort. Clusters are encouraged to share elements their work with the larger community, and to work toward the production of a tangible scholarly event such as a workshop, conference, speaker series, or publication. Most of the clusters include reading groups. All clusters are actively interested in new members.

Previous Clusters


Call for Proposals
Research Clusters 2OO8-O9

The Center invites applications from groups of faculty, or faculty and graduate students, seeking support for collaborative research activities. Funds may be used to bring scholarly visitors, to hold workshops, and for xeroxing, mailing, and other incidental costs. Although each cluster should include some Humanities faculty or graduate students, they may also include members from any other campus division (Arts, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences or Engineering). Projects that cross divisional boundaries are likewise encouraged, provided they intersect with the research interests of Humanities faculty and/or graduate students on this campus.

Applications for Research Cluster support should include a brief (1-2 page) description of the intellectual project of the cluster, a list of participants, and a detailed budget outlining planned activities. The application deadline is May 16, 2008. Ongoing as well as new clusters hoping to get an early start on 2005-2006 activities are encouraged to apply; the Center is particularly eager to support programming for the Fall and Winter Quarters. In the current budget environment, clusters are encouraged to plan activities that do not depend heavily on cosponsorship funds from other campus units. Prospective organizers who have questions about the application process, or would like a copy of the Cultural Studies Budget Guidelines, should contact Stephanie Casher, Program Manager, at: scasher@ucsc.edu or call 459-1274.
