The main purpose of this interdisciplinary field school is to bring university students out of the academic-theoretical world and to take them to the “field” to have direct contact with people involved in the struggle for justice, memory, and human rights. The experience gained from interacting with important figures in the “real world”, is what makes this field school unique and valuable. In this field school, students have the ability to work with EPAF (see brochure below) in a united effort to give students the opportunity to spend 3 weeks exploring a range of topics resulting from the internal armed conflict in Peru. During this time, students will interact with EPAF staff, meet representatives from local organizations, as well as public officials. They will also have the opportunity to witness first-hand events at “ground level” in Ayacucho, the area most affected by the armed conflict, during which they will explore issues of memory, development, gender, among others.
