| Description The Center for Social Well Being is now in its 9th year offering our 3 week training program with courses in ethnographic field methods and languages (Spanish and Quechua) in the Peruvian Andes. Students are housed at the center's rural base, an adobe lodge on an environmentally-focused ranch in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of the Callejan de Huaylas, 7 hours northeast of Lima. Coursework provides in-depth orientation to theory and practice in anthropological investigation that emphasizes methods in Participatory Action Research and Andean Ethnography centered on themes of Health, Ecology, Biodiversity and Community Organization. Students have the opportunity to actively engage in ongoing investigations in local agricultural communities to develop effective field research techniques, and to acquire language skills. In addition, the program provides excursions to museums, archaeological sites, glacial lakes and hot springs; optional recreational activities include hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing and trekking. Total cost is $3000. The program tuition fee covers in-country travel, food and accommodations at the rural center, and all program activities, that consist of classes, lectures, research, site visits with local communities, as well as program related excursions. The program is under the direction of Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J. Hammer, Ph.D., and Ecologist, Flor de Maria Barreto Tosi. Program dates:
