| Job Requisition Number: 27109. The Center for Latino Policy Research (CLPR) was founded in 1989 in response to the challenges of limited educational, political, and economic opportunities facing the Latino/Chicano population. Since then Center-affiliated faculty and graduate students have published a number of research and policy studies on the many factors that affect the Latino experience in the United States. Each year CLPR has also organized a vigorous lecture program on pressing Latino issues for the campus community. In 2016, after 13 years of being on the third floor of the Shorb House, CLPR acquired custody of the entire three-story building. The vision for the new expanded CLPR as the Latinx Research Center is that it will become an intellectual space that encompasses the arts and humanities as well as the social and policy sciences. CLPR/LRC provides office space for a number of visiting scholars and hosts graduate and undergraduate seminars as well as staff development meetings. In short, CLPR/LRC is an important space for the Latinx campus community at Berkeley.
