 What sets this minor apart from others though is that minor requirements may also be fulfilled with coursework in conjunction with internships at local and community-based organizations.Every year, Cal Cultures gives out fellowships to graduate students whose research focuses on questions relevant to California as a major nexus in global and diasporic processes, and that attends to hierarchical, comparative and relational processes inherent in this contemporary condition.This includes research on social movements, the military, boundaries, diverse community history and rapidly changing populations, as well as projects that focus on the literal and metaphorical borders between the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as those that highlight community-based collaborative research methodologies.
