Amy Offner and Survivor Corps in Colombia
Amy Offner is a 2008 AP Peace Fellow with Survivor Corps Colombia. She will be helping Survivor Corps develop its communications strategy as it works to defend the labor and human rights of people who have been disabled in the country’s armed conflict.
Amy is a Ph.D candidate in history at Columbia University, where she is studying the development of economic thought and social policy in the United States and Colombia during the Cold War. She has teaching experience in US and Latin American history, and has written popular and academic articles on labor in the United States. She received her BA magna cum laude in history from Harvard University in 2001.
Before entering graduate school, Amy worked in and around the labor and global justice movements as a union organizer and an editor at Dollars & Sense magazine. As a college student, she was an organizer of the Harvard Living Wage Campaign. Amy has experience planning and carrying out media campaigns that have brought international attention to labor struggles in the United States, and looks forward to working in Colombia.
