Guatemala Field Trip
INTD 3411.03 Guatemala Field School
This intensive two-week course will take place in Guatemala. The course will explore struggles for justice and development in Guatemala through visits with community organizations. Issues to be explored through community visits include accountability for human rights violations during Guatemala’s civil war, Indigenous resistance to global mining operations, agricultural production (focus on coffee), education, youth migration, political organizing – and connections to Canada. We will also experience Guatemala’s vibrant culture and political life and diverse ecosystems. Students must apply through the IDS Department and pay the auxiliary fee that covers costs for the field school.
