Welcome
The Center for Urban Education (CUE)
is a research and action center whose mission is to conduct research
that will result in the creation
of enabling institutional environments for children, youth, and
adults from socially and economically disenfranchised groups residing
in
urban settings.
Situated in Los Angeles at the University
of Southern California's Rossier School of Education, CUE is uniquely
positioned
to explore
the complex interplay between education and an urban environment
similar to that found in most of the world's cities.
