Description:
Costa Rica is described as the Switzerland of Central America due to its long democratic history and magnificent terrain. It has emerged as a pioneer of progressive social policies that protect the rights of women and children. In the past decade, it has also become a favorite destination for ecotourism. Less known is its ethnic and racial diversity. Our program will explore the impact of transnational migrations on community development and racial/ethnic identity formations. Through instruction and field trips to indigenous, Afro-Caribbean and other immigrant communities, our program will offer an opportunity to study complex identity formations in a global context.
