SUMMARY OF FUNDED PROJECTS
Intercampus Instructional Collaborations in
History
Concilium on African History: 8 general UC campuses. A two-day planning workshop is
planned for UC historians in Africa; it will be held at UCLA in Spring 1998. This will be the first universitywide
forum for Africanist faculty to develop collaborative ideas. Goals include: 1) establishment of a Concilium on
African history; 2) development of a Web site for resources in the study of African history; 3) discussion on the
feasibility of offering UCLA's History 275, "Introduction to the Professional Study of African History,"
via distance learning; 4) planning for an annual workshop for faculty and dissertation writers; and 5) discussion
of ways to enrich undergraduate education in African history. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $3,026.

Gender in Chinese Historical Studies: UCD and UCSC. Faculty at UCD and UCSC will offer a graduate
seminar on gender in Chinese historical studies in a pilot project lasting two years. The graduate seminar would
be based at UCD during the first year; at UCSC in the second year. The class will meet four times during each quarter;
these seminar sessions will be held for 2-3 hours in person at one campus. Weekly conduct of the course will be
done by a Web site where students access assignments, readings, and papers. An electronic news group and bulletin
board will be available for students and instructors to discuss readings and assignments. IAPIF award for 1997-98:
$4,960 for two years.

Policy History Curriculum Planning: 8 general campuses. A two-day curriculum planning conference
will held in Fall 1998 at UCSB. Goals for the conference include: discussion and comparison of perspectives on
what the components of a graduate policy history curriculum ought to be; planning for a seminar to be offered in
Spring 1999 at UCSB; and identification of new courses that could be part of a systemwide policy history curriculum.
A conference planning committee with faculty from UCLA, UCSB, UCSC, and UCSD will develop the conference agenda,
recruit panelists, and generate a list of participants. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $3,000.

The West and Borderlands: UCB, UCD, UCLA, UCR, UCSC, UCSD. Faculty planners for this proposal
will convene meetings for UC faculty who share an interest in teaching the west and borderlands as part of larger
history of the Americas. Collaborating faculty will meet once a quarter in winter, spring, and fall 1998 to plan
for offering seminars in 1999-2000 to three campuses through faculty exchanges and distance learning technologies.
They will also discuss a universitywide conference on Colonial and Mexican California proposed for 1999. IAPIF
award for 1997-98: $1,300.

Intercampus Graduate Seminar "Problems in the Historiography of Science": UCLA
and 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 for 1997-97: $3,000.

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 funded a planning grant that helped this group formulate a carefully conceived set of linked courses, workshops
and a year-end conference. IAPIF award for 1995-96 to 1997-98: $27,758.

Universitywide Workshop in the History, Sociology, Philosophy, and Anthropology of Science:
all UC campuses. In October 1997, UCSB faculty convened a two-day workshop in the history of science. Faculty
and graduate students in the fields of history, science studies, English and anthropology discussed opportunities
for intercampus collaboration. Workshop sessions included 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. IAPIF award for 1996-97: $3,000.
