The Center in Law, Society and Culture (CLSC) brings together UC Irvine faculty and graduate students who share interests in law, society, and culture, broadly defined. Issues of interest to center affiliates include race, law and justice; law and literature; critical legal theory; legal consciousness; law and space; legal philosophy, culture and policing; the interaction of local and international legal cultures; globalization; migration; knowledge production; law, science, and society; and law and history.
CLSC sponsors the Critical Legalities Symposia, which focus on a particular theme, feature presentations by UCI faculty and outside speakers, and include a workshop structured around central issues. Additionally, CLSC holds quarterly meetings, in which the recent work of an affiliate is presented and discusses, and funds a variety of campus activities, including colloquia, workshops, conferences, events, and graduate student reading groups.
All CLSC symposia and colloquia are free and open to the campus community and the public.

| The Advisory Board of the Center in Law, Society and Culture is pleased to invite proposals for the 2012-13 academic year that aim to create enduring collaborations between graduate students, law students and faculty on the UCI campus. We seek proposals for collaborative activities from groups of 2 or more graduate or law students and/or faculty who represent at least TWO distinct programs on campus, and who propose a project or activity on a topic related to law, society and culture that will be carried out during the 2012-13 academic year. Preference will be given to proposals that include both graduate students and faculty, and that include proposers from both the law school and non-law school academic units. The Center will provide funding in the range of $1000-2000 for selected projects/activities. Applications are due June 15, 2011. Depending on funding and interest, there may be a second round of applications with a due date in the fall. For more information, please click here.
