Study Abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina this Summer!
Women’s Movements for Justice
May 26 - June 18
WMST 397 || LASC369A || HIST369C
What does a feminist revolution look and feel like? How do women stand up and fight for justice? Come and study abroad with us this summer to learn about Argentina’s electric feminist movement, in one of Latin America’s most vibrant cities!
Women’s Movements for Justice is an unparalleled chance to take part in a critical historical juncture in Latin American social movements. Feminists in Buenos Aires are standing up en mass to demand change and justice, to denounce pervasive misogyny and gender violence, and to envision and realize another world. They are mobilizing in physical and digital spaces under the hashtags #NiUnaMenos and #AbortoLegalYa, to condemn femicide, to advocate access to legal abortions in public hospitals, and to introduce comprehensive sex education in public schools. Women are fighting together for the right to live without fear, the right to make decisions about their own bodies, and the right to exist in a more feminist and just world.
During our three-week program, you will accompany social movements, visit historical sites, dance queer tango, watch feminist futbol, and engage with students, activists, performers, scholars, and journalists who are part of campaigns for justice.
Our program qualifies for funding through the Study Abroad office and for the Gilman International Scholarship; students who apply will receive partial or full scholarships to go to Buenos Aires.
