The Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Social Science, Arts, and Humanities (CAMPSSAH)

Faculty Affiliates Program

The Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Social Science, Arts, Humanities (CAMPSSAH) builds on the Impact Recruitment Initiative (IRI), whose origins are in calls for greater numbers of faculty whose teaching, research and service focused the experiences, contributions and aspirations of African-American and African Diaspora students and communities. CAMPSSAH represents the successful institutionalization and broadening of IRI to encompass the recruiting, integration, and retention of whose research, reaching, scholarly and creative production bring multicultural perspectives to the social sciences, humanities and the arts with an emphasis on contributions that elevate the voices and visibility of underrepresented students and communities at UC Davis. CAMPSSAH also provides a space for these faculty to strengthen and enhance their engagement with underserved communities through their research and service, within and beyond the campus of UC Davis.

All UC Davis faculty (Academic Senate and Academic Federation) from Social Science, the Arts, and Humanities disciplines with a demonstrated interest in contributing to the CAMPSSAH mission are encouraged to apply to the Faculty Affiliates Program.

• Membership in a collaborative community of faculty interested in developing new research, teaching and mentoring methods to support diversity at UC Davis;
