Culture, Power and Social Change This working group brings together graduate students and faculty interested in exploring issues of cultural production, links between political economy, power and culture, cultural constructions of ethnicity, gender, national and religious identities and the ways in which they impact social change in the world. Center on the Everyday Lives of Families Housed in the Department of Anthropology, the Center integrates scholars across the four sub-fields of anthropology along with scholars from the fields of applied linguistics, education, and psychology in pursuit of four goals: 1) detailed, ethnographic research on how members of middle class working families create a home life through culturally and situationally organized social interactions; 2) creation of a digital video archive of family and household activities of working families; 3) apprenticeship of postgraduate, graduate, and undergraduate scholars in fine-grained documentation and analysis of social interactions that impact the well-being of working families; 4) public dialogue on how working families accomplish routine family and household activities and the centrality of these activities for building family and community relationships and world views. This is an interdisciplinary research center on Latin America dedicated to creating knowledge through research, instructional programs, publications, resource development, and public service activities. Special programs of interest to the business and professional communities of Los Angeles are held in cooperation with the Latin American Center Associates. There are also film showings, musical performances, and topical conferences for the larger Los Angeles community. The Center's mission is to teach students as well as the community at large about African languages and culture; to prepare individuals for careers in the public and private sectors dealing with Africa; conducting first-rate scholarly research; and promote dialogue among students, scholars, policy makers and the general public.
