Study Abroad Program

The Mexico Solidarity Network study abroad experience offers a dynamic, student-centered pedagogy combined with direct interaction with some of Mexico’s most important social movements.  The unique integration of theory and practice provides students with important lessons for their organizing work back home and an in depth appreciation of the struggles of:

• Indigenous Communities [Chiapas]
• Campesinos, Braceros, and organized sex workers [Tlaxcala]
• Autonomous urban organizing around housing and culture [Mexico City]
• Maquilladora workers, barrio organizing and families of femicide victims [Ciudad Juarez]

The Program is accredited by the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico City.  Hamshire College is the US school of record and issues formal transcripts.  The program is also reconized by the State University of New York (SUNY) system, the University of Texas-Austin, New Mexico State University, Appalachian State University and 70 other institutions.

Upcoming Programs:

SPRING 2009: January 25 - May 2

SUMMER 2009: June 7- August 1; June 14- July 24
