According to a press release, these new educational centres will focus on cultural flashpoints that Streisand is most passionate about: truth in the public sphere, the impact of climate change, the dynamics of intimacy and power between women and men, and the impact of art on the culture. The institute’s four research centres will be housed in UCLA’s division of social sciences.”
