In this seminar, students will participate in the initial stage of a survey research project designed in collaboration with an Indigenous Legal Organization (CEPIADET) on the topic of access to justice among the indigenous population in Mexico. In order to identify the strategies these communities use to solve conflicts, students will participate in conversations between academics and Indigenous activists to define a research topic, the constructs of interests, and to determine the relevant actors that would comprise a potential sample for data collection. If interested, students from this seminar could participate in data collection in Mexico in the summer.
