This one-credit guided research course will enable selected students to expand their scholarship on Immigration, Border Studies and Human Rights through field research on the U.S.-Mexico border over Winter Break. In collaboration with BorderLinks, our institutional host on the border, students will investigate immigration issues from a variety of different perspectives. A typical itinerary offers students the opportunity to engage with representatives from NGOs, humanitarian organizations, community activists, public defenders and government officials, as well as observe deportation proceedings and hike along a "migrant trail."
Besides earning one credit for field research, students will continue their research practicum by enrolling in either Philosophy 432: Ethics of Immigration or Sociology 409: Latino/a Immigration, Citizenship and Border Issues. Instructor permission required to enroll in one-credit field course.
The cost of the trip is approximately $910 plus airfare to Tucson, AZ. Financial assistance may be available.
