Immersion Trips

Dive deep into a specific social challenge or geographic locale through a domestic or international trip, supported by weekly workshop in the preceding term.

Now in its third year, this trip along the Texas-Mexico border engages students in the nuances of immigration policy and asylum-seeking. Lenses we use to examine challenges include race, LGBTQIA+ identities, environmental conservation, geography, community organizing, indigeneity, public health, gentrification, democracy, religion, art-as-activism, and intersections among the above.

Applications for the December 2025 trip, also focused on immigration and asylum-seeking on the southern U.S. border, will open in the spring term.
