Climate Change and Inclusive Politics in theAndes: Internship Opportunity/Field Training The Center for Social Well Being’s upcoming December-January Seminar highlights the rotation of the “Varayoc” – male and female moral authorities, an ancestral parallel governing tradition in contemporary practice that consists of a once in a lifetime obligation of each community member to ensure socioenvironmental relationships, carried out on January 1st in the Quechua moieties of Carhuaz, Ancash. The training program in interdisciplinary qualitative field methods, as well as Spanish and Quechua language learning, in the Peruvian Andes is a combined undergraduate and graduate level course 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 Participatory Action Research methodology and Andean Ethnography centered on themes of SocioEnvironmental Sustainability and integrated Well Being – public, environmental, maternal, family and community, in addition to civic and policy issues of Health, Education, Social Justice, Agrobiodiversity, Community Organization and related topics. Students have the opportunity to actively engage in ongoing projects in local agricultural communities to develop effective interactive field abilities and required language skills to carry out their own research and for placement with appropriate community programs, if desired. Also included are 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 is $3200 US dollars which includes all in-country travel, food and accommodations at the rural center, and course materials. The program is under the direction of Field Coordinator, Flor de María Barreto Tosi, Ecologist and Organic Farmer, as well as Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J.
