Hofstra University's Mexican Odyssey 2008 runs January 6-26 in Mexico with Linda Longmire and Timothy Smith. We studied an interdiciplinary course that provided an intensive introduction to contemporary Meiico's historical, political, economical, and cultural life. It forucsed on the economic and political forces at work in the urrent restructuring of Mexican society, the evolving woen's movement and indigenous peoples' movements, and the implications of the growing globalization of the region. We arrived in Mexico city, rented two jeeps, and traveled 7,000 kilometers in southern Mexico in the regions of Puebla, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas.
