Experience Latin America I: 2008 Edition
The goal of this course is to acquaint students with the cultural, historical, socio-political, literary, anthropological, health, agricultural and development issues in southern Mexico. The lectures/discussions help establish the global and regional contexts for transcultural understanding. This course may be taken as a stand-alone survey course in international agriculture. 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 a field course component in Chiapas, Mexico. An optional 1-credit discussion course in Spanish complements IARD/LAT A 4010. Interested students, register for LAT A 3020.
