summer internship 2011

This unique internship brings faculty and
students from the U.S., Cuba and Mexico
together in participatory research on
corporate globalization and its alternatives.
Such research joins study to service in
experiments in economic democracy.
Undergraduate and graduate students and
activists take seminars in San Miguel, a
cosmopolitan city in central Mexico. Then,
joined by faculty and answering community
invitations, they will live in rural communities
and learn how Mexicans are creatively
responding to privatization and globalizing
economic relations. Three years of college
Spanish, or the equivalent, is needed.
The Mission of the Internship Program is: “to
offer cooperative, interactive, mutual learning
experiences based on participatory research
practices designed to yield benefits:
To the host community in ways they define
for themselves,
To the intern –academically, personally, and
politically - by developing himself/herself in
their pursuit of social justice
To the Center, by deepening collective
knowledge of neo-liberal globalization’s
effects and people’s struggles to create
alternatives.”
This combination of cutting-edge seminars on
globalization, hands-on research into
alternatives, and community service – all in a
multi-cultural perspective – affords
participants a unique view of our epoch from
below.
Cost: $2,000 USD for housing, meals, and
program. A limited number of partial
scholarships is available
