Congratulations and a big thank you to Dr. Victor Vázquez from our department (center) and Dr. Max Grossman from the Department of Art for hosting his semester ethnographic field trip last Saturday, September 26th, to Downtown El Paso with UTEP students!
Our students had the opportunity to explore the history, community struggles, architecture, cultural heritage, and challenges of Hispanic neighborhoods, including Duranguito and Segundo Barrio.
This field trip brought together students from the classes Urban Anthropology, Culture of the Caribbean, World Cultures, and Drug Use and Abuse.
Great academic experience! Keep up the good work! Go Miners
