Overall Experience
Yes. it was all experiential learning. We sadly had a horrible traveling prof. that made the classroom learning non existent. But it also bonded us as a group. - Middlebury College View Entire Review

I learned more about the ways that US foreign policy has impacted other countries around the world, which made me think proactively about my position in each of the three countries. - Wellesley College View Entire Review

About

Investigate the historical and social contexts of human rights movements, including the roles of culture, identity, political economy, and international law. 

Go beyond the halls of power to learn how individuals and communities are giving momentum to grassroots, human rights movements across four countries. Connect with groups working for immigrant and gender rights and against structural racism in New York City, and critically examine the deep roots of human rights movements throughout the United States. Travel next to Nepal, Jordan, and Chile, where you’ll meet with scholars, members of Parliament, feminist leaders, staff of grassroots and international non-governmental organizations, United Nations officials, Indigenous community members and leaders, and refugees. Gain deeper insight into multilayered perspectives on human rights, often against the backdrop of governments in tectonic shift, and understand pathways to enacting human rights-based change.
