One of the pressing issues around the world today is migration. Because of inequalities in income and opportunities around the world, large numbers of people are leaving their homes and moving to other countries. This is particularly true of the US which has over 300,000 people crossing from Mexico every month. If we are to resolve this problem successfully, we need to understand the circumstances in which these migrants choose to come to the US and the manner in which they do so. Along with visits to Mexico City and archaeological Aztec wonders, students will conduct fieldwork in conjunction with the local university at a migrant shelter in Puebla to learn about the situation of migrants coming through Mexico either to stay there or to continue into the United States. Through interviews, study the financial strategies migrants-in-transit use to fund their journey, as well as in making a living on the way and once they arrive in their host country.
