This program explores the ways in
which Peru has been shaped by
complex historical legacies, a
multiethnic population, and profound
social and economic disparities
between its different ethnic
groups. Topics for study include:
rights, advocacy, and policy;
community development; the arts,
including pre-Columbian artistic
expression ; identity-recognition; the
impacts of international corporations
Students complete an independent
study project during the last four
weeks of the program.
