Dear Colleagues,

As many of you know, the Diversity Requirement in the College has already passed twice, but opponents have invoked a procedural loophole and so it comes up for a vote a third time.

Despite the fact that this requirement is only in the College, all UCLA faculty are eligible to vote, and so,
we would encourage you all, including emeriti faculty, to cast your vote during the period from March 30 to April 10.

The California Series in Public Anthropology is continuing its International Competition in 2013. It seeks proposals for short books oriented toward undergraduates that focus on how social scientists are facilitating social change. We are looking for accessible, grounded accounts that present compelling stories, stories that inspire others.

The proposals should describe a book that will be relatively short - around 100 pages - with a personal touch that captures the lives of people. The core of the book should involve stories of one or more social scientists as change agents, as making a difference in the world.

Hello everyone--

I am writing to invite any interested faculty to the first ever CSW Faculty Writing Retreat. I have heard about these retreats held on other campuses and those who attended said they were incredibly helpful. One junior faculty member said she finished a draft of a chapter in her retreat and another told me she finished an article. The way the retreat works is as follows.
