*June Solstice 2014: Cultural Immersion and Skills Training*

The * Center for Social Well Being* offers a 3 week intensive internship
training program after which students may work and/or pursue their own
research objectives in health, education, agricultural, social development,
municipal institutes, or with civic organizations, depending on acquired
skills, demonstrated abilities and interests. Length of the post-training
internship is adapted to students' needs with respect to academic and
professional requirements. Upon successful completion of the seminar
students may formally affiliate with the Center for Social Being as
researchers or outreach workers.

Training consists of an interdisciplinary qualitative field methods
seminar, which includes language classes (Spanish and Quechua) in the
Peruvian Andes. The combined undergraduate and graduate level course is
held at the center's rural base, an adobe lodge on an ecological ranch in
the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of the *Callejón de Huaylas*, 7 hours
northeast of Lima. Coursework provides in-depth orientation to theory and
practice in field investigation that emphasizes methods in *Participatory
Action Research and Andean Ethnography centered on themes of Climate Change
with respect to Ecology, Health, Education, Social Justice,
Agrobiodiversity, Community Organization *and related topics. Students have
the opportunity to actively engage in ongoing projects and programs in
local agricultural communities to develop effective interactive field
abilities and required language skills to later be placed in appropriate
community programs and projects. In addition, the training seminar provides
excursions to museums, archaeological sites, glacial lakes and hotsprings;
optional recreational activities include hiking, mountain biking, rafting,
kayaking, rock climbing and trekking. The training program tuition fee is
$4000 US dollars that includes all in-country travel, food and
accommodations at the rural center, and course materials. The program is
under the direction of *Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J. Hammer,
Ph.D., and Flor de María Barreto Tosi, Ecologist and Field Coordinator, as
well as Isabella Chan, MPH.  *
