Climate change internship/field training opportunity

Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends,

On behalf of Mountain Partnership member the Mountain Sentinels Collaborative Network<http://www.fao.org/mountain-partnership/members/members-detail/en/c/153502/>, we take this opportunity to share with you an internship/field training opportunity:
Climate Change in the Andes Action Research: internship/field training opportunity
8-25 July 2018
The Center for Social Well Being (www.socialwellbeing.org/swb/<http://www.socialwellbeing.org/swb/>) celebrates 17 consecutive years providing intensive field training courses on interdisciplinary qualitative field methods and Spanish and Quechua language learning in the Peruvian Andes. This combined undergraduate- and graduate-level seminar is held at the centre's rural base, an adobe lodge on an ecological ranch in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of the Callejón de Huaylas, seven hours northeast of Lima. Coursework provides in-depth orientation to theory and practice in field investigation that emphasizes a participatory action research methodology and Andean ethnography centered on themes of medical anthropology, socio-environmental sustainability, and integrated well-being in environmental, family and community spheres, that address civic and policy issues of health, education, social justice, agrobiodiversity, climate change and community organization.
Students actively take part in ongoing endeavors in local agricultural communities to develop effective social interaction and in-field engagement abilities and the required language skills to carry out their own research, as well as for placement with appropriate community programmes, if desired. Also included are excursions to museums, archaeological sites, glacial lakes and hot springs; optional recreational activities include hiking, mountain biking, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing and trekking. The training programme tuition includes all in-country travel, food and accommodations at the rural centre, as well as course materials.
The programme is under the direction of Applied Medical Anthropologist, Patricia J Hammer, PhD, and Field Coordinator, Flor de María Barreto Tosi, Ecologist. This year's field assistant is alumnus Samuel K. Hulsey, Environmental Scientist, Middle Tennessee State University.
Programme dates:
July field Seminar: Sunday, 8 July - Wednesday, 25 July
Application Deadline: 30 May 2018
