The UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies’ magazine highlights the public scholarship of our faculty. We shine our light in this issue on the UCLA Department of Information Studies, the IS part of Ed&IS, taking a look at the breadth of the research and degrees offered by the faculty. The issue also includes a look at the work of the UCLA Civil Rights Project; Professor Walter Allen, who received the Scholars of Color Distinguished Career Award and delivered the prestigious W.E.B. Du Bois Lecture at the AERA annual meeting, excerpted here; excerpts of Visiting Professor Maryanne Wolf's new book, Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in the Digital World.
