The Spring Program, Roots and Routes of Migration, immerses students in the complex questions surrounding the US/Mexico border. Migration, border enforcement, human rights, and global inequality are central themes explored during this semester in the borderlands. Homestays, coursework, internships with local organizations, and travel in Arizona, Sonora, Guatemala, and southern Mexico are the components by which students develop a comprehensive analysis of both border and global issues.

Protest in Oaxaca - Yessenia Aguirre
Daniela and I ran into this during the Mexico portion of our travel seminar in Oaxaca's Zocalo. The protest was for a teacher that has been disappeared. The man reading his own poem is a friend of the disappeared teacher. The teacher's family is there too. For me this was a powerful experience and proof of the drastic measures the government takes when people start demanding there needs and rights.
