LATA 4010
Experience Latin America: Rural and Urban Realities I

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Acquaints students with the cultural, historical, socio-political, literary, anthropological, health, agricultural, and development issues in southern Mexico. The lectures/discussions establish the global and regional contexts for better transcultural understanding. This course may be taken as a stand-alone course in international agriculture and rural development or in Latin American Studies. However, it is primarily a preparatory course for participants who plan to participate in a summer/fall course called Experience Latin America ll. Chiapas Eidtion (IARD 6010 or LATA 6010), which includes a two week field-study trip to southern Mexico (Chiapas during the summer). The two week field trip will also offer students the option to stay on in Chiapas (or other locations) for an extra 6-8 weeks to complete an international experience with a locally funded project tailored to student interest and background.

When Offered Spring.
