Anthony Brandy has received a summer FLAS to study the Mixtec Language program in Oaxaca, Mexico and is offered through San Diego State University’s Global Seminars. Alongside regular class sessions, students will also learn about the local culture, society and history of the location through curated activities, excursions and local guest lectures. The program spans six weeks and offers 140 hours of instruction. This program is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of the interface between Mixtec culture and the broader mestizo culture of Oaxaca, grassroots movements to preserve Mixtec culture both within Oaxaca and among Mixtec communities in the US, and other such topics that will provide a foundation for understanding Mixtec language and culture.
