FIELD SCHOOL IN PRIMATOLOGY, WILDLIFE ECOLOGY, AND CONSERVATION IN KENYA

01:070:336 AND 01:070:337
This field school gives students the opportunity to experience the diverse habitats of Kenya, and to gain understanding of biodiversity by using primate field studies as the entry point. The core of the field school is training in field methods. In order to expose students to methods used to study primates found in different habitat types, the field school is conducted in two ecologically different sites: a forest ecosystem in the Tana River Primate National Reserve at the coast, and Kakamega Forest National Reserve in western Kenya.

BOLIVIA FIELD SCHOOL

01:070:365, 01:070:366
Conducted in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, this pair of courses (each worth three credits in Anthropology or Latin American Studies) will focus on topics related to the practices and realities of the Bolivian justice system, from the perspectives of those who create, manage, and work in the system, and those who are affected by it. Through readings, lectures, discussions, informal meetings, and direct participation, students will have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the workings of the Bolivian legal system, the meanings of justice, and the practice of rights by poor, indigenous people living in a Bolivian city. Students will meet and study with justice professionals in Bolivia, to learn about how a foreign judicial system operates, and will meet with human rights advocates to develop a sense of how human rights promotion and defense works “on the ground” in Latin America.
