Multicampus Programs

Italian Studies Multicampus Research Group  (ISMRG) and California Interdisciplinary Consortium for Italian Studies (CICIS)
At the University of California, scholars working in Italian Studies are widely dispersed across the humanities and social sciences. The Italian Studies Multicampus Research Group (MRG)—sponsored by the UC Office of the President, UCB Department of Italian Studies, UCLA Department of Italian, UCSB Dean of the Humanities, UCSD Dean of the Humanities and UCSC Dean of the Humanities—unites faculty and graduate students in a multicampus interdisciplinary research unit for the first time in the University’s history.
The UC ISMRG works closely with its sister organization, the California Interdisciplinary Consortium for Italian Studies (CICIS). CICIS was established in 2001 to bring together faculty, students, and independent scholars from around the state interested in Italy. CICIS' mission is to foster interdisciplinary and transnational research related to Italian studies in California, and to convene conferences where this research can be promoted, undertaken, presented, and discussed. The organization is open to UC faculty and graduate students as well as scholars and researchers from other California research institutions, and independent scholars residing in California.  CICIS maintains a list-serve and holds meetings to discuss shared concerns and to organize annual conferences.
