The Syracuse University Abroad Center in Santiago, Chile, is the setting for a semester-long student research project focused on human rights, historical memory and social justice.
The project, conducted by Lender Global student fellows Ohemaa Asibuo and Ayanna Hyatte under the direction of Santiago Center Director Mauricio Paredes, is centered on the 1973–1990 Augusto Pinochet dictatorship, during which more than 3,000 people died or disappeared, 200,000 suffered exile and 27,000 were tortured.
