Summer Institute will be held on the UC Davis campus July 26 - 31, for students, faculty, and community members. This year's one week session is intended to acheive four goals: 1) develop the research and professional skills of Chicana/Latina scholars; 2) encourage interested women who are undergraduates, graduate students, or sorking in academia to conduct research and writing on Chicana/Latina issues, needs, and interests; 3) provide information on the latest research on Chicanas/La tinas; 4) enable Chican/Latina scholars who already have work-in-progress to move significantly ahead toward preparation of their works. There will be five different types of activities during the summer workshop. Every morning, there will be five different workshops relating to academic/professional strategies. Tenatively scheduled are workshops in the following areas: 1) Dissertation Development; 2) Creative Writing; 3) Tenure Strategies; 4) Teaching and Curriculum Development, and 5) Per suing Graduate Studies. Participants may attend the same workshop all week long, or attend different workshops each day as desired. Afternoon sessions consist of on-going research development on such topics as 1) Literary Criticism, 2) Women and Work, 3) Chicana Historiography, 4) Immigration/Migration Issues, 5) Women and the Family, 6) Women and Education, and 7) Women and the Arts. Participants are also urged to bring any work-inprogress that may be shared, discussed, or prepared during the stay at the Davis campus. M.A.L.C.S. is affiliated to the National Association for Chicano Studies, which will hold its annual conference in April 1988, at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since its incertion in 1972, the association has served to further the development of Chicano Studies by providing a forum for Chicana/o academics, researchers, students and community members. Students attending this week-long conference will be introduced to a diversity of topics and issues that can prove essential in promoting the interest shared by C.U. Boulder of fostering a multi-cultural oriented presence in our community and campus. The students attending the Summer Institute would like to have a workshop in the Fall 1987 Semester that will orientate .any interested C.U. student in progressive research methods and benefits. ~ .. 27 EXECUTIVE COUNCIL BILL Ill - Page 3 ~ Eddie W.
