Current Multicampus Research Groups

Consortium on California Architecture and Design

With UC Humanities Network support in 2011-2012, the Consortium on California Architecture and Design is now a thriving energetic and collegial group of fourteen scholars and three graduate students from six UC campuses, all of whom research aspects of our common topic, broadly defined. The existence of this consortium has significantly expanded the potentials of this field of study across the UC. We are seeking a second year of funding in order to continue the mutually enriching collaborations begun in the first year. We plan to deepen our graduate student mentoring through dissertation workshopping, enhance the quality and prestige of work in the field by UC scholars, and institutionalize California’s contributions to architectural history by building content for a California section of Archipedia, a Society of Architectural Historians digital humanities project.
