This seminar provides a look at immigration from diverse perspectives, principally through a week-long immersion at the Annunciation House on the border of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Preparation will begin with sessions built around the Notre Dame Forum on immigration and continue with readings and written assignments. During the winter break students will visit sites such as border patrol posts and factories (maquilas), explore legal issues, and dialogue with refugees and parish organizations. Particular attention will be paid to assessing the role of the Catholic Church in relation to immigration. Fluency in Spanish is preferred, but not required.
