FALL Quarter (mid August - mid November) including a total of 21 units with four courses in human rights and cultural memory and one course on Spanish language, all courses are pre-approved for the Latin American Studies curriculum.
Come away with an entirely new perspective on human rights beyond the borders of the US. Courses are interdisciplinary and include cultural activities and excursions so you can understand the history of these two very different societies and their reforms. Immersing in daily life in each location enhances your understanding of today’s socio-political conditions and their impact on memory, culture, and the reestablishment of justice. You will analyze how past constructions of human rights influence current thinking on the rights of women, indigenous populations, students, and other groups. You’ll also see how human rights connect to topics such as development, poverty, and democracy.
