June Solstice 2014: Cultural Immersion and Skills Training
The Center for Social Well Being offers a 3 week intensive internship
training program after which students may work and/or pursue their own
research objectives in health, education, agricultural, social development,
municipal institutes, or with civic organizations, depending on acquired
skills, demonstrated abilities and interests. Length of the post-training
internship is adapted to students’ needs with respect to academic and
professional requirements. Upon successful completion of the seminar
students may formally affiliate with the Center for Social Being as
researchers or outreach workers.
Training consists of an interdisciplinary qualitative field methods seminar,
which includes language classes (Spanish and Quechua) in the Peruvian Andes.
The combined undergraduate and graduate level course 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, Social Justice, Agrobiodiversity, Community
Organization and related topics. Students have the opportunity to actively
engage in ongoing projects and programs in local agricultural communities to
develop effective interactive field abilities and required language skills
to later be placed in appropriate community programs and projects. In
addition, the training seminar provides excursions to museums,
archaeological sites, glacial lakes and hotsprings; optional recreational
activities include hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing
and trekking. The training program tuition fee is $4000 US dollars that
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 Flor de María Barreto Tosi,
Ecologist and Field Coordinator, as well as Isabella Chan, MPH.
