About Us

Faculty and students within UC San Diego’s Division of Arts and Humanities celebrate interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the world and imagining our future. Collaborations across the border are uncovering the urban and environmental history of the border region, exploring Chicana/o and Latina/o identity in the United States, and disrupting conventional representations of Mexican people to recognize how this robust cultural milieu shapes our region and our world.
