Interested in learning about Mexican LGBTQ activists, organizations, and change-makers? For two weeks, we will learn from our community partners about how a country’s history shapes its LGBTQ communities and what activism and social justice mean to different people. Questions we will engage include: What can we learn from the challenges and successes of LGBTQ communities in Mexico’s capital as people work to mobilize and create change throughout the country? How does the contemporary landscape of migration affect identity issues in Mexico? How do LGBTQ rights intersect with other areas of human rights in the country such as environmental justice, rural issues, women’s rights, access to education, etc.? Our time abroad will consist of active discussions, field excursions, site visits and creative writing opportunities.
Please note that program fees include ALL MEALS during the program!
