Un Museo de Arte Contemporáneo es aquel que ofrece colecciones de pintura, escultura, dibujos, grabados; conocidos como bellas artes; y también nuevas técnicas como la instalación, el performance, el video art, la fotografía o el arte sonoro; que en conjunto se llaman artes visuales. En el Perú existen 6 museos que difunden el arte contemporáneo, siendo todos de administración privada y el principal representante en Lima el MAC, ubicado en el distrito de Barranco. Sin embargo, dicha institución no tiene un alcance metropolitano debido a su ubicación foránea. A esto se le añade que está en un terreno concedido por 30 años por parte de la municipalidad distrital a cambio de su futura administración y que su colección se basa en donaciones privadas o préstamos por parte del Ministerio de Cultura. Esto nos refleja la ausencia que tiene el estado peruano con respecto al arte contemporáneo siendo el Perú uno de los países con mayor riqueza cultural en el mundo. El proyecto se desarrolla en el Centro Histórico de Lima, donde se encuentra el 50% de todos los museos de la capital convirtiendo a la zona en un gran foco cultural. El museo se sitúa en un entorno urbano importante donde convergen edificios de diferentes estilos arquitectónicos correspondientes a distintas épocas y busca sumarse a ellos a través de una arquitectura contemporánea que responda a las características del lugar integrando alineamientos, alturas, formas, ritmos y materiales; ya que a pesar de la peculiaridad de cada edificio logran entenderse en conjunto. / A Museum of Contemporary Art is one that offers collections of painting, sculpture, drawings, and engravings; known as fine arts; and also new techniques such as installation, performance, video art, photography or sound art; which together are called visual arts. In Peru, there are six museums that spread contemporary art, all of which are private managed and the main representative in Lima is the MAC, located in the district of Barranco. However, this institution does not have a metropolitan scope due to its remote location. To this is added that the district municipality in exchange for its future administration on land grants it for 30 years and that its collection is based on private donations or loans from the Ministry of Culture. This reflects the absence of the Peruvian state with respect to contemporary art, Peru being one of the countries with the greatest cultural wealth in the world. The project takes place in the Historic Center of Lima, where 50% of all the museums in the capital are located, making the area a great cultural focus. The museum is located in an important urban environment where buildings of different architectural styles corresponding to different periods converge and seeks to join them through contemporary architecture that responds to the characteristics of the place by integrating alignments, heights, shapes, rhythms and materials; since despite the peculiarity of each building they manage to understand each other together. / Tesis

California Community Colleges (CCC) are the largest post-secondary higher education systems in the nation, with an enrollment of over 2 million at a given year. They are also the most affordable and accessible for students after completing K-12 education. With California having the largest Latinx residents (39%), they overwhelmingly makeup 45% of the student population enrolled in CCC. Although Latinx students are pursuing higher education and enrolling in high numbers in CCC’s, they still fall short when it comes to student success outcomes, particularly transfer, when compared with their peers. Only 10 % of Latinx students transfer in two years, 16% in four years, and 32 % in six years. This number becomes more alarming when only analyzing the Latino male student transfer rate, which is less than four percent in two years, seven percent in four years and 16 % in six years. Aspects of literature attributes the Latinx attainment gap to both institutional and environmental determinants. Institutional determinants include: academic preparedness, the role of faculty, staff, and administration, and faculty diversity. Environmental determinants include: family influences, financial and socioeconomic status, as well as masculinity identity. Given what the literature has provided, this study will look at Latino male students who have indicated progress towards transfer using the Associates Degree for Transfer (ADT). The ADT was established in 2011 and it was meant to create a clearer path for students to navigate the transfer process and end up transferring to a California State University (CSU). This study employed Merriam’s (206) basic qualitative research methodology to understand the meaning that students have constructed through their college experience and interactions with peers, counselors, faculty, and administrators. A total of 10 participants, all Latino community college males, were part of this investigation. The data collection process included: semi-structured interviews, which were one hour in length, using thematic analysis as well as a color-coded method. The research data was viewed through Yosso’s (2005) Community Cultural Wealth framework to capture the positive qualities that Latino male students bring to higher education. The results from this study indicated that Latino male students had a wide range of challenges steaming from environmental to academic challenges. Additionally, findings suggest that many Latino male students are disengaged from campus support services. This may be due to the COVID – 19 pandemic and the services being offered virtually. A third component from the findings suggest that Latino male students need a sense of belonging to the campus. This can be done by establishing a Latino center, male initiative program, greater mentorship, or and designated counselors that can invest as well as dedicate more time in their education. The researcher outlined several recommendations for action in the field of community college practice and for further research.

This dissertation investigates the transformative potential of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) in reimagining land and homeownership within the context of capitalist real estate markets. Utilizing a qualitative research framework that combines narrative inquiry with Emergent Strategy and Community Cultural Wealth theories, this study explores the intricacies of developing CLTs as a counter-narrative to traditional models of property ownership. Through extensive narrative analysis of four distinct CLTs in California, this research highlights the complex challenges and innovative strategies employed to scale CLTs in competitive urban markets. The findings reveal how CLTs leverage emergent strategy and community cultural wealth to navigate and mitigate barriers, fostering community engagement and emphasizing local context and social justice. This study contributes to the broader discourse on affordable housing and social equity by highlighting the critical role of community-centric approaches in transforming land and homeownership paradigms. By demonstrating the efficacy and transformative potential of CLTs, this dissertation underscores the importance of alternative models in addressing the global housing crisis, advocating for a shift towards community stewardship and collective empowerment in land ownership.
