Atlantic meets the pacific: maritime peoples and places!

Peace boat Voyage (scheduled from June 11-24, 2013) offers an opportunity for student from MIIS and Middlebury to engage in comparative education. This faculty-lead voyage will include visits to the coastal ports in  Venezuela, the Panama Canal, Panama, Guatemala, and Mexico.

During the voyage, the course would offer a set of seminars and presentations that would be designed to help students deepen their understanding of specific features of life and culture in the countries we visit. At each port, students would be involved in field work that includes aspects of art, music, religion, politics, environment, health, or other specific aspect of the ports .
