The UCLA Institute of American Cultures (IAC) Social Justice Research Initiative (SJRI) and affiliated Social Justice Research Graduate Fellows (SJRGF) Program have created this online inventory for K-12 Ethnic Studies teachers. This website connects Ethnic Studies teachers and students to resources and faculty associated with social justice and Ethnic Studies work within UCLA, including the IAC, which is administrative home to four ethnic studies centers- American Indian Studies Center, Asian American Studies Center, Bunche Center for African American Studies, and Chicano Studies Research Center. Ethnic Studies teachers can use this online resource to tailor their curriculum to the particular needs of their students. This online inventory is an open access resource for teachers, media, and others in the community interested in social-justice based research with an emphasis on communities of color.
