IFP: Cuba Remote Studio

Course Description

If the global COVID-19 pandemic makes direct travel to Cuba impossible, the online Cuba Remote Studio will provide you with crucial tools with which to pursue research tied to environmental, racial, urban, and economic challenges through the geopolitical and analytical lens of the only socialist country remaining in the Global South. First, you will take classes with leading Cuban intellectuals, providing you with an alternative viewpoint on concepts we question from and against a neoliberal perspective in the United States. Second, you will conceive, execute, and evaluate a research project leading to a publishable paper or other final product (e.g., an op-ed) with the support of leading Cuban specialists in the topic of research.
