Overview

The Latino Community Organizing Against Violence Seminar will examine current efforts among community activists and organizations in favor of violence prevention and intervention. As an active participant, you will be invited to explore the rich cultural heritage of Chicago during a five-day immersion. From the perspectives of the violence prevention and intervention initiatives that you will gain, you will be encouraged to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that go hand in hand with cultural diversity as it is experienced in Chicago and South Bend. In particular, we will explore cultural diversity from the standpoint of the dynamic of immigration and integration that the Latino population – especially its teenagers and young adults – is living through. The seminar is a one-credit hour course graded "S" or "U."
