center for information as evidence

The  Center for Information as Evidence (CIE) is located within UCLA's  iSchool, the Department of Information Studies. 

Contact: Professor Anne J. Gilliland, Director, gilliland@gseis.ucla.edu

CIE serves as an  interdisciplinary and critical forum for research, policy development, educational initiatives  and public discourse addressing the ways in which information objects and systems are created, used, and preserved as legal, administrative,  scientific, social, cultural and historical evidence. 

With a particular  emphasis on the preservation and use of recorded evidence and  memory in support of human rights, social justice and community  empowerment, CIE is committed to incorporating  community perspectives  from around the globe, working across boundaries and barriers on contemporary and historical concerns, and  creatively and rigorously implementing diverse methodological and  analytical approaches.
