Course Description

This practicum is an exercise in engaged pedagogy.  The academic work we do will be conducted for the benefit of the cause of Mexico's now over 110,000 disappeared persons.  Students will be engaged in a sustained research effort to development a "context analysis" of disappearances in the state of Zacatecas (Mexico)-- an exercise in social study that focuses on the economic, political, social, and criminological context in which disappearances occur.  Research is done in coordination with Mexico's National Commission for the Search of the Disappeared.  Alongside the practical, real-world, objective, this Practicum is designed to perfect research skills in the social sciences
