The Oaxaca Program is focused on the theory and practice of cultural rights by working with Community Museums, part of a pan-American movement to preserve and celebrate traditional cultures.  The program combines coursework with experiential learning in which students work with residents in indigenous villages to develop and facilitate expressive arts workshops.  With an emphasis on reflection, they build on and integrate concepts that courses explore, such as the processes of colonial domination, resistance, decolonization, defense of cultural rights and practices and the historical and political context of Oaxaca today. Students participate in coursework as well as attend workshops on Facilitation and Reflection to learn about community, self, and transformation before they begin working with villagers, museums, and schools.  At the close of their work together, they will present the product – a video, radio program, fiesta, the results of community mapping, etc. More information may be found on the Center for International Programs site.
