- Biographical / historical:
-
Manuel Luis Carlos came to the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1965 as a PhD candidate in Political Science, with a subfield in Political Anthropology. After graduating, he joined UCSB's Department of Anthropology as an Acting Assistant Professor, where he stayed as a fulltime professor until his appointment as Professor Emeritus in 1994. His hiring marked the first Mexican-American faculty member on campus, and he would advocate for the hiring of other Latino/a and Chicano/a faculty both in and out of the Anthropology department throughout his tenure.
While at UCSB, Dr. Carlos taught both graduate and undergraduate courses in Anthropology and in two interdisciplinary Masters programs - the World Peace and Security program and the Latin American and Iberian Studies program - and ran a joint research project and academic exchange project between UCSB and the University of Queretaro - known as the Queretaro Research Project (QRP). In addition to teaching, he also served in various administrative capacities including as Director of the Institute for Applied Behavioral Sciences, as interim chair for the Chicano Studies department, and as UCSB's representative on numerous UC-systemwide committees - such as the UC systemwide consortium on US-Mexico relations, a UC presidential consortium on diversity, and as an advisor on diversity to William Baker, the UC systemwide vice president for budget and university relations.
Outside of his direct work with UCSB, Dr. Carlos also served as a research fellow and advisor to the Director for the National Institute of Education from 1975-76, and spent a year, 1980-81, as a research fellow at the Center for US-Mexico Studies at the UC San Diego.
After his time at UCSB, in January of 1994, Dr. Carlos joined California State University, Monterey Bay as one of its 17 founding faculty members. Today, he continues to advise as a Professor Emeritus.
