ARTECH, a 6-campus/2 site Experiment in Art Technology: UCB, UCD, UCSB, UCSC, CSU Monterey and San Jose State University. UCSC faculty will convene a universitywide meeting to develop plans for a technical art facility called ARTECH to be located at the CSU Monterey campus. Faculty at UCB, UCD, UCSB, UCSC, CSU Monterey and San Jose State University will inspect facilities at the CSU Monterey campus and discuss the feasibility of developing an undergraduate intercampus program that would integrate art disciplines: foundry casting, metal fabrication, ceramic sculpture, and glass blowing. Each campus offers one of these art disciplines. ARTECH would be a multi-disciplinary facility available to UC and CSU. At the planning meeting, participants, including deans and directors, will have round table discussions regarding goals and possible benefits of a shared facility to each campus program. IAPIF Award for 1997-98: $1,902.

Intercampus Clinic on Indian Law: UCB and UCLA. Faculty at UCB and UCLA will develop a clinic for law school students to gain skills in conducting cross-cultural legal research and drafting legal opinions, codes, and constitutional provisions. In Spring 1996, Professor Goldberg-Ambrose taught a course on American Indian Law via video conferencing to students at UCB and UCLA; she plans to teach the course again in Spring 98. The clinic will continue the sharing of faculty expertise in Indian Law, supplement law programs at both campuses, and provide service to the Indian community in California. In addition, Professor Goldberg-Ambrose plans to talk to staff in the Governor's office and the Legislature regarding the feasibility of state funding for a clinic dedicated to Indian law. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $2,500.

Lead faculty: Carole Goldberg-Ambrose, School of Law, UCLA

Native American Studies in the UC System: 8 general UC campuses. Faculty at UCD convened a meeting in Fall 97 to bring together faculty from the 8 general campuses to discuss ways to improve the delivery of instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to share resources in Native American Studies. The faculty were drawn from a variety of fields, including for example, anthropology, cultural studies, ethnic studies, religious studies, and history. At this meeting, faculty discussed opportunities for cooperation in teaching and research, faculty and student exchanges, and strategies for sharing resources to strengthen research agendas and pedagogical planning for Native American studies. Librarians and curators made presentations on library collections and Native American material culture archives. UCD has submitted a proposal for a Ph.D. program in Native Studies. In anticipation of that new program, a goal for the meeting was to establish an intercampus graduate group to address issues of pedagogy and research in subfields of Native American Studies, such as Native American religious studies, Native American women's studies, Native American literature, Native American history, Native American anthropology, Native American art, performing arts, and film studies. IAPIF Award for 1997-98: $3,000

Curriculum Development in European Studies: UCB, UCD, UCSC. This project would enhance the European studies curriculum by employing the resources and perspectives of Education Abroad Program (EAP) faculty to assist UC faculty in planning for: a) coordinated course offerings in European studies; b) an intercampus research seminar; and c) a conference for undergraduate students to present their research papers. Faculty and undergraduate students from UC campuses and EAP will participate in all 3 stages. For the first stage, UC and EAP faculty will develop a theme on European Union and European/U.S. relations to be incorporated into the curricula of social sciences at each campus; they will also exchange course syllabi. In the second stage, an intercampus research seminar will have teams of UC and European students working on research projects that will be supervised by UC and European faculty. Communications on the Internet will allow student research teams to circulate drafts for peer reviews. For the final stage, a universitywide conference will be held for UC undergraduate students to present their research papers; European faculty and students will also participate. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $9,975.

Universitywide Meeting for Chairs, Department of Art History: all 8 general campuses. Art history department chairs met in Fall 97 at UCB to discuss staffing and curriculum, enrollment patterns, graduate degree programs, Ph.D. completion rates, funding for library and slide collections. This universitywide meeting was the first of its kind for the art history department chairs. Instruction in Art History is organized in various ways at UC campuses; it may be in independent academic departments or in departments that include studio art; it is also in a college of the humanities or in schools of art or architecture. Moreover, some campuses offer graduate or doctoral programs. The Art History department chairs plan to create an intercampus group to share information, deliberate on common problems and explore ways to collaborate. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $3,000.

Lead faculty: Harvey Stahl, Department of Art History, UCB
Participating faculty: Jeffrey Ruda, Department of Art History, UCD

Tri-Campus Collaboration in Urban Planning: UCB, UCI, UCLA. UCB and UCLA departments of urban planning have a long history of collaboration through faculty exchanges and annual conferences. These events were discontinued as a consequence of budget cuts. UCI's program has recently been accredited, and Professor Wachs planned a conference as an opportunity for UCB and UCLA with their mature programs to share resources with UCI. The Fall 97 conference agenda included discussions of worldwide trends and national policy issues in urban planning, opportunities for cooperation in teaching and research, possibilities for joint studio classes, and suggestions for using distance learning technologies to offer courses on the three campuses. The conference concluded with a session for faculty to develop specific proposals for collaboration with plans for continuing contacts. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $2,950.

Lead faculty: Martin Wachs, Department of City and Regional Planning, UCB
Participating faculty: faculty in urban planning, UCB, UCI, and UCLA

Northern UC Conference on Collaborative Teaching of Archaeology: UCB, UCD, UCSC. A planning conference was held for faculty at UCB, UCD, and UCSC to discuss strategies for closer intercampus cooperation and the formation of a consortium for northern UC campuses in the teaching of archaeology modeled on a similar arrangement among the southern UC campuses. They will seek to tie together the strong theoretical approaches of the Berkeley archaeologists and the more practical interests of the faculty at Davis and Santa Cruz. The three campuses will pool together archaeological collections to complement the undergraduate programs at each location. IAPIF award for 1996-97: $1,580.

This project implemented consultative sessions for faculty at UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSD, and UCSB to develop a planning document. Faculty will maximize the University's archaeological assets by sharing extensive instructional and laboratory resources. An estimated 500 - 700 students from the five campuses could benefit from an intercampus graduate program in archaeology. IAPIF award for 1994-95: $2,900.

Joint Graduate Degree Program in Classics: UCI, UCR, UCSD. This project focused on the design of a new core curriculum for a joint graduate degree program in classics to be taught at UCI but utilizing UCR and UCSD faculty as part of its instructional team. The program's initial goal was to admit 5-6 students each year starting Fall 1995 so that 15-18 students will be enrolled in each 3-year course cycle. The second phase of this project was to develop an entirely new intercampus M.A. and Ph.D. degree program building on this core curriculum and administered equally and collaborative by faculty from all three campuses. IAPIF award for 1994-95: $11,575.
