Institute of Governmental Studies
University of California, Berkeley
February 1, 2013

The Center for the Study of Representation, housed within IGS, is looking for up to two more undergraduates for a $500 research grant. Each year CSR awards up to six Cal undergrads with as much as $500 to help with expenses for research papers dealing with some aspect of American politics—from social movements to electoral behavior.
Last semester the applicant pool was rich and four students were chosen—across disciplines—to receive the prestigious Charles H. Percy Undergraduate Grant for Public Research.

Name: Reginald James

Major: Political Science and African American Studies

Research Interests: "Historical Impacts of National, State, and Local Housing Policies and Practices on African American Residents of Alameda"
