Section Title:
Hum Rights/Poli Cult Argentina
Section Info:
On-campus class meetings: Weekly class meetings on campus during the first half of spring semester. Travel to Argentina: March 8-17, 2024. The class will examine the social, economic, and political issues within modern Argentine society. Through interdisciplinary lenses, students will explore the history of Argentina’s populist regimes, military authoritarian regimes, and transition to democracy. We will build a framework to better understand present problems and trends, such as the transition to democracy, the re-emergence of populism, economic instability, and poverty. The seminar will combine class lectures and discussions, cultural immersion in Argentina, and considerable on-the-ground interaction with Argentinean scholars, and field trips in and around Buenos Aires.
