The Burdick Global Scholars Program equips UCSB students to face the challenges of our global society by extending the study abroad experience beyond the classroom. Each yearlong Burdick cohort consists of UCSB faculty and a group of students who work closely with a visiting research collaborator (a scholar, activist, or creative) who is rooted in the research area on a collaborative research project. Since 2020, our Burdick projects have focused on water scarcity, the carceral state, environmental justice, urbanization and social equity, Indigenous rights, and digital tools for endangered archives with research projects in South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
