 helley White with a travel component to the US-Mexico border over spring b
 reak!\n\nCourse description:\n\nThis experiential learning course focuses 
 on the borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico\, cutting across traditiona
 l indigenous lands. We examine the history\, politics\, policies\, and cha
 llenges of the border and the borderlands region. Students employ a social
  justice lens to understand histories of nation-building\; migration and i
 mmigration challenges\; local Native rights issues\; food\, biodiversity a
 nd sustainability challenges\; rural health delivery\; the effects of extr
 active industry and the possibilities of restorative economy\; and models 
 of liberatory education honoring indigenous histories and knowledges. This
  course is built around a REQUIRED\, PLACE-BASED TRAVEL EXPERIENCE OVER MA
 RCH SPRING BREAK (typically 8 days from Friday Saturday) in the trinationa
 l space of the Sonoran Desert and Sky Islands region of southern Arizona\,
  northern Sonora\, Mexico\, and the Tohono Oodham Nation. Students explore
  local landscapes and learn through dialogue with community partners. Whil
 e we consider historical and contemporary challenges of the region\, we al
 so learn about innovative models of response based in local organizing. Ul
 timately\, students apply a root-cause analysis to consider health in cont
 ext\, community challenges and assets\, and the importance of community-dr
 iven models of development and justice. Finally\, students will practice l
 eadership skills for social change by developing and implementing an actio
 n plan to advance health justice in the context of their course learning.\
