A group of 蘑菇视频 students and faculty traveled to the Arizona-Mexico border March 16-22 to examine immigration policy and border issues from a sociological perspective.
During a six-day immersion trip led by Dr. Joanna Maravilla, assistant professor in the Department of Education, and Dr. Jennifer Buntin, associate professor of sociology, students traveled to Tucson, Nogales and Davis, Ariz., as well as Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico.
They engaged with community members and organizations working on the front lines of border issues, including Frontera de Cristo, gaining firsthand insight into the realities and diverse perspectives shaped by border policy. Students returned better equipped to think critically about immigration and to reflect on their roles as future educators and community members.
The students who participated in the program included:
- Shandy Wendt
- Mackenzie DeLeon
- Aeryn Macshane
- Matthew Coe
- Nicole Morse
- Mia Munoz
- Jake Spizzirri
