35 years after the Stonewall Rebellion in New York, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender voices play an increasingly prominent role in the United States. Yet many GLBT and allied persons know very little about GLBT culture and community in other parts of the world. Through personal stories, visits with community activists, and meetings with people from diverse sectors of society, participants will experience some of what life is like for the GLBT and allied community in urban Mexico. Most of the seminar will involve field trips and meetings with people who will share their experiences and perspectives regarding the societal response to GLBT issues. Presentations and field trips will be integrated with readings and group discussion on the issues raised. Academic credit through Augsburg College is available for an additional fee.
