[PAST EVENT] Field Research on the US-Mexico Border
September 17, 2014 - September 18, 2014
5pm - 5pm
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 and a presentation in April, students will apply their research practicum by enrolling in either Hispanic Studies 307: Medical Interpretation or Anthropology 350: Marx and Anthropology. Instructor permission is required to enroll in the one-credit field course.
The cost of the trip is approximately $850 plus airfare (approx $515) to Tucson, AZ. Financial assistance from the College may be available as it was in previous years. A $200 deposit is due Friday, November 7th. There is a maximum enrollment of 10 students.
An informational meeting will be held at 5 PM on Sept 17th and 18th in 301 Washington Hall.
