Engaged Curriculum Grants

Sustainable Development and Community Participation in Ecuador

Building a new interdisciplinary summer program for undergraduates

The Latin American Studies Program (LASP) is building on Cornell’s existing research, nonprofit and community networks in Ecuador to develop a new interdisciplinary program on sustainable development in Latin America. This initiative combines a new on-campus course with a two-week community-engaged learning field course extension in Ecuador, along with summer research and internship opportunities with community partners in Ecuador.

With support from faculty across five departments, the field course provides students with an opportunity to engage with local communities, including Andean and Amazonian indigenous communities, and learn about their efforts to promote development strategies that are environmentally sustainable and responsive to local needs.
