Center for Ethnographic and Cultural Analysis (CECA)

The mission of the Center for Ethnographic and Cultural Analysis (CECA) is to provide students with resources and a space for equipment, training, and hands-on experience in systematic cultural analysis that will be transferable to the workplace, and to prepare students for graduate study. In addition to serving students in Cultural Anthropology, as of 2016, CECA has expanded to include interdisciplinary faculty from across the university. The goals of CECA include:

• supporting ethnographic research, methodology, and innovations to provide opportunities for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work
• providing facilities and technology for ethnographic research and teaching
• providing facilities and technology for graduate and undergraduate students to engage in local community, national, and international research
• facilitating community-based research in surrounding southern California communities

The SCCIC houses information about historical resources (e.g. location, size, age, etc.) within Ventura, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties per CHRIS standards. Information about historical resources is maintained in various forms such as 7.5 USGS Quadrangle Maps, historical resource records and reports, and computerized data. SCCIC clients are generally archaeologists, historians, architectural-historians, developers, and public agencies. Information Centers provide historical resources information to local governments and individuals with responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A fee is charged for maintaining the information and any assistance provided.
