Paid Summer Internship Opportunity for UCSB Undergraduate Students

The Central Coast Community Labor Project is offering UCSB students an opportunity to spend their summer learning about community and labor organizing by participating in UCSB's first LABOR SUMMER! In collaboration with the Central Coast Labor Council, students will learn about and apply organizing and research practices as paid interns at Central Coast unions and allied organizations that are working to advance labor and achieve social and economic justice.

Application window closes April 21st. Apply now!

The Blum Center on Poverty, Inequality, & Democracy invites UCSB faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students to attend our Cooperative Economics Workshop on Friday, March 10th @12:30pm via Zoom (passcode: coopecon). 

The workshop will address central research questions, methods, literature resources, and will also include discussion about up-coming funding opportunities for Spring Quarter.

Our student team contributes to raising awareness about issues of inequality here at UCSB and beyond. Please follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to be a part of we're working on here at the Blum Center, including UCSB's housing crisis, guaranteed income, and more.

Kristi Copeland is a third-year Sociology and History double major with a minor in Feminist studies. As a student peer advisor for the Poverty, Inequality, and Social Justice Minor, Kristi is available to discuss the course options available to students, how to apply, and what steps to take to make sure students are on track to graduate following acceptance into the Minor, among other questions. She can be contacted at kmc188@ucsb.edu or by appointment through Calendly.

 

This Spring Quarter we are pleased to welcome our new student additions to the PISJ Minor. The Blum Center is proud to support this interdisciplinary and immersive learning experience that addresses issues of poverty, inequality, and social justice.
