PRIEC is an ongoing series of meetings that brings together faculty and graduate students and showcases work-in-progress on racial/ethnic politics and the politics of immigration. The consortium’s main objectives are to provide a forum and a resource for graduate students seeking mentoring and advice, and for faculty to collaborate and receive feedback on ongoing projects.
We welcome contributions from various perspectives, disciplines, and methods–with the only requirement that the work focus on politics (i.e. political behavior, political institutions, political processes, or public policy). We tend to have three or four meetings each year, mostly hosted by a college or university in Southern California. Since May 2009, PRIEC meetings have been held in other parts of the country, including UC-Berkeley, UW-Seattle, Stanford, University of New Mexico, UC-Davis, and Texas A&M.
We have 4 meetings scheduled for 2011-12. Confirmed so far are: October 14 at University of Southern California, November 12 at Texas A&M University, January 27 at UC Riverside, and May 4 at UCSD. Click on the links above for more information on meetings and other relevant announcements.
Finally, some kudos to some past hosts of PRIEC who have come up with some great poster designs, including Pitzer College, the University of New Mexico, Stanford University, and UC Berkeley.
