Administrative History

The Women of Color Research Cluster at UC Santa Cruz, also called the University of California Research Cluster for the Study of Women of Color in Conflict and Collaboration, was founded in 1991 by graduate students and affiliated faculty studying Women of Color on the UC Santa Cruz campus. According to their mission statement, the cluster was significant in that it "[departed] from critical perspectives surrounding the category 'women of color,' [and focused on] the study of the complexities of multiple, dispersed, and conficting identities." (http://www2.ucsc.edu/woc/mission.html) The cluster was funded in the 1990s by Professor Angela Y. Davis, UC Presidential Chair, and the Center for Cultural Studies. The largest ongoing project put on by the Women of Color Research Cluster was the annual Women of Color Film and Video Festival, which received submissions from filmmakers around the country and premiered several films before they were shown at national festivals. The cluster participated in curriculum development for courses in the Women's Studies/Feminist Studies and History of Consciousness departments on the subject of women of color, which were co-taught by tenure-track faculty and graduate student cluster members. The cluster also hosted speakers series, seminars, and other campus-wide events before disbanding in the 2000s. During the 2016-2017 academic year, graduate students from three UC campuses (Santa Cruz, Davis, and Berkeley) came together in the spirit of the original research cluster as the Women of Color (WOC) in Collaboration and Conflict Graduate Working Group to collaborate across disciplines to "co-author and co-edit a journal on the theme of witnessing and testimony as a decolonial feminist methodology."
