Experience Latin America I: 2009 Edition
Experience Latin America is a collaboration in 2009-10 by Cornell University and Michigan State University. The goal of Experience Latin America I is to acquaint students with the cultural, historical, socio-political, literary, anthropological, health, agricultural and development issues in southern Mexico. Video-conferenced lectures and discussions and selected readings help establish the global and regional contexts for transcultural understanding. This course may be taken as a stand-alone survey course. However, it is primarily a preparatory course for participants selected to participate in Experience Latin America II: Chiapas Edition (IARD/LAT A 6010), which includes an exciting field course component in Chiapas, Mexico. At Cornell an optional 1-credit discussion course in Spanish complements IARD/LAT A 4010. Interested students, register for LAT A 3020.
