Intercampus Instructional Collaborations in History 1997-98 Intercampus Graduate Seminar "Problems in the Historiography of Science" - UCLA, UCSD UCLA and UCSD faculty will co-teach a graduate seminar on critical problems in the history of the history of science over the course of this century. Other issues relate to the direction of current concerns in the history of science profession. The seminars will be offered by video-conferencing and by commuting to a campus: 4 sessions by video-conferencing; 3 sessions with UCSD students traveling by train to UCLA; and 3 with UCLA students going to UCSD. Students will be required to evaluate the team-teaching approach for the graduate seminar, the intercampus experience, and the effectiveness of distance learning. IAPIF Award: $3,000 Lead faculty: Robert S. Westman, Department of History, UCSD Participating faculty: Theodore Porter, Department of History, UCLA Four Campus Graduate Program in Global History - UCD, UCI, UCR, UCSC The Center for Comparative Research will implement its second year of an intercampus program in the emerging field of global history. The graduate program includes a set of linked courses, workshops and a year-end conference. Seven courses form the core of the program. Students could enroll in courses originating from their home campus, enroll in a variable unit course and participate via distance learning for an off-campus course, or enroll for an off-campus course and commute to that location. Materials for all of the courses are on Web sites. In 1997-98, the program will be more broadly focused on global history; each campus will offer courses complementing those at another location. IAPIF Award: $10,000 Lead faculty: William Hagen, Director, Center for Comparative Research, UCD Participating faculty: Edmund Burke III, Department of History, UCSC Kay Flavell, Department of Critical Theory, UCD Jack Goldstone, Department of Sociology, UCD John Hall, Department of Sociology, UCD Randolph Head, Department of History, UCR Ray Kea, Department of History, UCR John Stanfield, Department of Sociology, UCD John Walton, Department of Anthropology, UCD Douglas White, Department of Anthropology, UCI Universitywide Workshop in the History, Sociology, Philosophy, and Anthropology of Science -all UC campuses UCSB faculty will convene a two-day workshop in the history of science planned for October 1997 at UCSB. The workshop will offer opportunities to generate interdisciplinary collaboration. Faculty and graduate students in the fields of history, science studies, English and anthropology will participate. Workshop sessions include the comparison of ecological information as it pertains to environmental history and ecological analysis, and the reliance on numerical information by, for example, a philosopher of science and a biologist. In 1996, UCB hosted a workshop for graduate programs in history of science, technology and medicine in California. This event has lead to further plans for collaboration for programs in the history of science and science studies.
