Section Title:
Hum Rights/Poli Cult Argentina
Section Info:
On-campus class meetings: Weekly class meetings on campus during the second half of spring semester. Travel to Argentina: August 3-13, 2023. This course examines the social, economic, and political issues within modern Argentine society. Students explore the history of Argentina's populist and military authoritarian regimes and transition to democracy. The seminar combines class lectures and discussions, cultural immersion, and considerable on-the-ground interaction with scholars, activists, and politicians in and around Buenos Aires. This course explores current problems and trends in the transition to democracy such as the re-emergence of populism, economic instability, and poverty in Argentina. Additionally, students explore Buenos Aires through site visits, cultural excursions, and volunteer work at a local school in the Parana Delta. PS 199 - led by Professor Gisela Sin - will meet during the last six weeks of this semester and involve a trip to Argentina in August!
