Chile: Culture, Development, and Social Justice

Coursework

This program combines topical seminars and discussions with field-based learning, around the themes of culture, development and social justice. These themes are divided into modules so that students can contextualize the Chilean reality, taking into account historical elements, current realities and emerging trends.

Theoretical perspectives are provided through academic seminars and are reinforced through the Spanish language classes.  Subsequently, academic excursions and community work experiences serve to contextualize theories and provide opportunities for critical reflection around programmatic themes.

The topic of human rights is intertwined with the programmatic themes of social justice and development as part of an expanded concept of social, economic, political and cultural rights within Chile.

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.
