The Global and International Studies Program at UCSB sponsors interdisciplinary academic programs in global studies, international studies, and area studies, and provides a coordinating center for programs related to international studies throughout the campus. G&IS is partnering with the Reclaim Initiative by sponsoring a group studies project through which a team of undergraduate students are receiving academic credit for research coordinated with the field research team. G&IS students are in constant communication with their partners in South Asia, receiving up-to-the-minute information through the project website and global conference calls, allowing them to conduct academic research to buttress and guide the action of the field team.
