More oil comes to the U.S. from Latin America than from any other region,

including the Middle East. This year 11 reporters from Sandy Tolan’s “Politics

and Petroleum” class traveled to five countries to chronicle the

political, social, economic and environmental consequences of oil production

in Latin America. Join the reporters as they show video and recount their

reporting challenges – from the

high-rise capitals of Mexico and Venezuela to the jungles of Ecuador and

Peru.

The class is co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies.
