Through academic coursework, lectures, internships and site visits, students will explore trade, immigration, cross- border dispute resolution and border security between the U.S. and Mexico. =20

The Summer Institute on Border Studies integrates internships, presentations by various specialists and site visits on both sides of the border.

Site visits will include the Mexican Consulate in El Paso, the U.S. Consulate in Juarez, the El Paso Border Patrol Headquarters, several maquiladoras, border research institutes, indigenous organizations, and offices dealing with immigration. The presentations will cover topics such as border demographics, an overview of the region as an economic integrated trade zone, security, identity, border literature and art, the labor movement on the border, health, immigration, and NAFTA. Weekly discussions integrate local, national and international politics with specific topics related to the border region

Students will be led by faculty director, Nancy Oretskin, JD, Co-Director of the US-Mexico Conflict Resolution Center and professor at NM State Univ. in the College of Business Administration and Economics. She teaches classes in Business Law, Mediation, and Negotiation and Conflict Resolution. =20
