Nancy Sanchez
Topic:
Nancy Sanchez, 2007 Colby College Oak Fellow, has been involved for nearly two decades in human rights work in Putumayo, one of the most conflictive areas of Colombia torn between several fronts of the guerilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and paramilitary forces as well as on the effects of narco-trafficking on the Colombian economy.
The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at Colby College was established in 1998 by a generous grant from the Oak Foundation. Each year, it hosts an Oak Human Rights Fellow to teach and conduct research while residing at the College. The Institute organizes lectures and other events centered around the fellow’s area of expertise.
