Overview of class

This Medill Explores course offers students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves for one week in Buenos Aires, a city rich in history and culture that is currently struggling with an economic crisis.

In this course, we will develop skills in global journalism by creating visual, people-centered stories that focus on Argentina's social scene and social justice issues revolving around inequities in the country.

Students will spend the weeks prior to the mid-quarter trip preparing for work on the ground. This will involve weekly readings, viewings, classroom discussions, engagement with professionals, exercises with the camera and other assignments designed to help you prepare to create rich, visual stories in Buenos Aires.
