University of California, Irvine: Buenos Aires & Santiago - Human Rights and Cultural Memory in Chile

Chile is a natural choice for gaining insight into education, health, development, and politics from a Latin American perspective. In Santiago, find thriving culinary, bohemian, and arts prospects, while themed program excursions take you to grape growing regions, mining centers, and indigenous villages. Students particularly love visiting the Patagonia glaciers and northern desert hot springs.

Spend equal time in the exciting capital cities of Buenos Aires and Santiago. Courses explore the topics of human rights and cultural memory, examining how people in Argentina and Chile have reconstructed their societies very differently as their understandings of the past have helped to shape contemporary social and political life in the present.
