A full-day excursion on April 6th brought to life our study of migration. We walked on migrant trails in the Arizona desert; interviewed migrants to learn their stories at Mexico’s migrant assistant organization Grupos Beta; ate lunch with a family at their home in an informal settlement colonia; walked along the border fence and to the memorial for Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez; learned about maquiladora factories from a former employee; held discussions about migration and impact of globalization. The fieldtrip was safely guided by binational staff of BorderLinks, a Tucson educational nonprofit.
