SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Social Movements and Human Rights

Study social movements in a country internationally renowned for its innovation and protagonism in the struggle for human rights for its diverse populations.


WHY STUDY ABROAD IN ARGENTINA?

Argentinians have historically shown a massive response of activism and mobilization in times of crisis. Studying in Argentina represents a unique opportunity to witness how social change and political unrest can assume different forms through social organization, direct actions, collective imagination, and advocacy strategies. Buenos Aires, the vibrant city where the program is based, is the heart of this eclectic collection of social movements and organizations.

During your semester, you will be guided to learn about the most relevant issues on the current human rights agenda from an intersectional approach. You will have the opportunity to discuss these issues with referents from human rights organizations and social movements, such as environmental, Afro descendant, migrant, feminist, indigenous, and LGBTQIA+ activists. Using a decolonial and critical perspective, you will navigate the interconnection between theory and practice to reflect on possible alternatives and strategies to the most pressing sociopolitical and economic issues that our societies face, in Argentina and around the globe.

"This program is amazing and it truly changed my life. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their language, connect with the host culture, and completely change the way they think about the world. I was able to complete an internship in Buenos Aires which has changed what I want to study in the future. I also met some of the most amazing people, including the program staff who were so supportive of everyone in the program."
