New from the Americas Program
POLICY ANALYST INTERNSHIP MEXICO CITY
SUMMER & FALL 201
What does the internship entail?
This is an unpaid internship, but offers room and board in Mexico City and a fantastic opportunity to be part of a hands-on project that promotes grassroots movements and reforms in U.S. foreign policy in the Americas. Interns will learn and employ research, policy analysis, journalism, electronic publishing and distribution skills. The 2012 internship periods will be especially important and interesting. The summer and fall interns will help cover and analyze the Mexican presidential election, the winning administration's transition into power and the growing hemispheric debate on the drug war.
Who will I be working with?
The selected interns will be working under the direct supervision of the Director of the Americas Program, Laura Carlsen. As a policy analyst Laura has been featured on national and international media outlets such as MSNBC, Al-Jazeera English, the Huffington Post and CNN, among others. She has published hundreds of articles and chapters on social, economic and political issues in Mexico, and co-authored Confronting Globalization: Economic integration and popular resistance in Mexico, among other books. Laura is a former Fulbright scholar and award-winning journalist, and has also worked as an international consultant on immigration and women rights.
