The UCSB Blum Center aims to foster interdisciplinary, socially engaged research and learning about poverty and inequality, and to contribute to collective action that advances intersectional economic and environmental justice regionally, in the United States, and abroad. Established with funding from UC Regent Richard C. Blum and the UC Office of the President, it is part of a campus-wide network across a number of UC campuses system.
This year the Blum Center is focusing on three core initiatives:
Central Coast Regional Equity Initiative
The Dr. U.S. Awasthi Initiative in Cooperative Economics
