Description
Building on frameworks developed in WGST 242 in Saskatoon, students will explore the vibrant cultural, social and political life of Santiago, Chile’s capital city, engaging with academics, artists, activists, memorial sites, cultural activities and urban spaces in continued experiential study of the ongoing effects of colonialism, imperialism and neoliberalism, and their many related displacements – within and across borders and continents – interrogating what it might mean to cultivate a sense of critical global citizenship.
Prerequisite(s): WGST 242
Note: WGST 112.3 or International Studies 211.3 or 212.3 strongly recommended. Santiago is the capital city of Chile and is a large urban center surrounded by the Andes Mountains. With over six million inhabitants, and a 500-year history that spans colonization, military dictatorship and neoliberalism, as a growing economic center in Latin America, it currently attracts migrants from Peru, Haiti, Colombia, Argentina, and Ecuador. Students will have the chance to immerse themselves in diverse educational and community-engaged activities, while enjoying the comfort and safety of a large, modern urban academic center.
