UCSD Cross-Cultural Center

Submit   The vision of the Cross-Cultural Center (CCC) is to empower UCSD to recognize, challenge, and take proactive approaches to diversity for the campus and the San Diego community. We strive for meaningful dialogues and context across all cultures, particularly those of underrepresented or underprivileged backgrounds. We offer supportive and educational services through art, programs, workshops, and outreach, and we welcome creative venues for enhancing social consciousness and equity.

” ‘Whither UCSD…’ is a continuation of “N.A.F.T.A…” but potentially brings things all home, so to speak, int hat UCSD may be headed towards direct direct involvement inmaquiladora production in Tijuana just across the border here in San Diego (actually, it could be already!). Should this happen, most likely it would involve research by UCSD science/technology faculty leading to new products which could be manufactured by Mexican workers. Th advantage of UCSD is primarily in the two highly developed areas of biotech and software though many departments have been involved, largely through UCSD’s San Diego Dialog in Extension. If research by my colleagues leads to production in Mexico, will the high road to labor rights be taken or the typical low road? Merck, the giant pharmaceutical company, gave a large grant to San Diego Dialog to help move its ‘borderless initiative’ along; this investment by Merck is very significant.”
