Climate & Culture Change in the Andes: June 2012
The Center for Social Well Being celebrates our 11th year offering our 3
week training program in interdisciplinary qualitative field methods, as
well as Spanish and Quechua language classes, in the Peruvian Andes. The
combined undergraduate and graduate level seminar is held at the center's
rural base, an adobe lodge on an ecological ranch in the Cordillera Blanca
mountain range of the Callejón de Huaylas, 7 hours northeast of Lima.
Coursework provides in-depth orientation to theory and practice in field
investigation that emphasizes methods in Participatory Action Research and
Andean Ethnography centered on themes of Climate Change with respect to
Ecology, Health, Education, Community Organization and related topics.
Students have the opportunity to actively engage in ongoing investigations
in local agricultural communities to develop effective field research
techniques, and to acquire language skills. In addition, the program
provides excursions to museums, archaeological sites, glacial lakes and
hotsprings; optional recreational activities include hiking, mountain
biking, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing and trekking. Total cost is $3,200
US dollars. This includes all in-country travel, food and accommodations at
the rural center, and course materials. The program is under the direction
of Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J. Hammer, Ph.D., and Ecologist,
Flor de María Barreto Tosi .
