“U.S.-Mexico Indigenous Planning Summer Institute (USM-IPSI)”
The University of New Mexico (UNM) and Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) are collaborating on mutually-beneficial activities, which are intended to build and align partnerships. This program will be broken down into three parts consisting of UNM students hosting BUAP students, a two-day gathering of strategic planning sessions, and BUAP students hosting UNM students for an intensive one-week, community project-based learning studio. Students will gain knowledge about indigenous planning, traditional ecology, sustainability, architecture, the built environment, and anthropological issues in indigenous places.
