Announcing the Border Issues and Activism Field School

Geometric composition

The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery theme is pleased to announce its newest Discovery Field School: Border Issues and Activism in Ohio, which will be co-led by Katherine Borland (Comparative Studies) and Stephanie Aubry (SPPO). 

The Discovery Field School on Border Issues and Activism in Ohio will introduce students to sites of immigration enforcement and immigrant rights activism, and it will encourage them to consider how border control functions not only in the Southwestern United States, but also here in Ohio. 

Field schools are faculty-led, interdisciplinary, experiential-learning programs offered as one-credit undergraduate courses that take students to domestic destinations to learn about the transformational value of the humanities and the arts. By immersing students in learning environments, field schools aim to close the gap between knowing and doing.
