Argentina: Social Movements and Human Rights

Coursework

The Social Movements and Human Rights Seminar, conducted in Spanish, typically includes lectures and discussions on the following topics: Political and Social History of Argentina; Human Rights and the Struggle for Justice, from theoretical and applied perspectives; Theory and Practice of Social Movements; and Social Movements, including discussions of the future of social movements and their challenges in the international context. The Field Study Seminar addresses culturally appropriate, ethical field methodology, in preparation for the Independent Study Project (ISP).  Spanish language study bolsters students’ ability to communicate, conduct field research, and delve deeply into the culture and theme of the program.

The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.

The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
