Field Methods and Internship Training Seminar - Peru
Andean Community response to Climate and Social Change
The Center for Social Well Being celebrates 13 years offering our program in
interdisciplinary qualitative field methods, as well as Spanish and Quechua
language classes, with a continued internship option in the Peruvian Andes.
This year we offer our December-January intersession, a 3 week training
program after which students may work and/or pursue their own research
objectives in health, education, agriculture, social development, with
municipal institutes and 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 (usually extends from 2 to 10 months). The intensive field
methods and language component is equivalent to 1 semester of university
study; we provide participants with a qualitative letter of evaluation and
grade. Upon successful completion of the seminar students formally
affiliate with the Center for Social Being as researchers and outreach
workers.
The combined undergraduate and graduate 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, Social Justice, Agrobiodiversity, Community
Organization and related topics. Students have the opportunity to actively
engage in ongoing projects and programs with Quechua communities to develop
effective interactive field abilities and required language skills for
placement in appropriate contexts to provide community support and research.
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.
