The Travel Seminar to Mexico explores how the global socio-political economy impacts family and community systems in countries like Mexico. A combination of seminar style classes, guest speakers and field visits are employed in the investigation of the effects of global macro forces over individual family systems in rural Mexico. The seminar concurrently looks at the impact of modernization of the Mexican economy on the poor and whether economic alternatives would foster greater social justice.
Course is offered in the summer and when staff is available to teach.
