This colloquium is a logical sequence to LA S 195A and consists of multiple weekend trips into the state of Sonora. The objective of this field course is to learn first hand from public and private officials and academics in the state of Sonora about the border reality from Mexican perspectives. Visits to government, non-profit and business institutions involved in cross-border activities or research, participation in short seminars or workshops with Mexican students, and lectures or discussions conducted by individuals from the public and private sectors provide an interdisciplinary, international and global focus. Participation in all field trips and related workshops or discussion-groups and attendance at a pre-trip orientation and a post-trip wrap-up (50%) and submission of a journal of personal observations and reactions to issues observed, studied and discussed (50%) will determine satisfactory completion of course requirements. Students taking the course for Honors credit will prepare a special presentation for the wrap-up session and receive an Honors grade.
