Stipended Summer Research Experience for Spanish-speaking Undergraduates in Mexico
NSF-funded 3 year project to investigate impact of NAFTA/TLC on nutrition, health, and family recomposition in three communities in Morelos, Mexico. Project combines natural and social science research experience and publication opportunities for undergraduates who will spend 8 weeks in Mexico, 4 of them living in the field with campesino or semi-urbanized families to investigate transformations in family diet, nutrition, and health, as well as overall changes in family work patterns and survival strategies, including migration. Communities include two subsistence farming communities and one where maquilladoras have entered following municipal restrictions on growing food due to soil, water and air pollution from upstream factories. Project offers opportunity to explore cross-disciplinary, cross national collaborative research strategies to bring large social questions into sharper focus. Fluent spoken Spanish is a requirement of participation. All expenses paid, including $300/week stipend ($2400 total). Program dates 2004: approximately June 15-August 15
