The University of Texas at Austin
At The University of Texas at Austin, the Departments of Sociology, Anthropology, and Government will serve as the principal core disciplines. Each of these departments has a strong record of recruiting minority students and has recently hired several faculty members from under-represented groups. Fellows may also become associated with the Population Research Center (PRC), which provides a strongly supportive and multidisciplinary research environment.
At the University of Southern California (USC), to focus the proposed activities, the Graduate School will concentrate on the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) in the areas of sociology; political science; geography; anthropology; linguistics; psychology; economics; policy, planning and development, and communication. Many of the SBE disciplines are represented in the Program for American Studies and Ethnicity (PASE) which also has a strong track record of attracting under-represented students.
