A
research unit of the College
of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the University
of Arizona, the Southwest Center has a threefold mission: to sponsor
and facilitate research on the Greater Southwest, to publish exemplary
work growing from that research, and to act in service to citizens
of the region through programs of teaching and outreach. In all three
areas special emphasis is given to strengthening individual and institutional
ties to our colleagues at universities and cultural centers in the
Republic of Mexico.
