Freedom for Immigrants Hotline: Advanced Community-Engaged Spanish

This follow-up course is designed for students who have completed Spanlang 108SL/HUMRTS 108 (Migration, Asylum, and Human Rights at the Border) and wish to continue their community-engaged work with Freedom for Immigrants (FFI). Students may continue responding to hotline calls or focus on follow-up research related to issues raised by callers. Students may: Take weekly shifts on the unmonitored hotline to document complaints, monitor conditions, and help connect people in detention with support networks; or Conduct follow-up research based on documented hotline requests and support FFI's case-tracking, issue identification, and advocacy efforts. Students will participate in periodic check-ins with FFI staff for coordination and support. Unit enrollment should reflect the anticipated time commitment, including hotline shifts, research, coordination with FFI, and group meetings. For questions or a code, students may contact Vivian Brates (vbrates [at] stanford.edu (vbrates[at]stanford[dot]edu)).
