Second Binational Symposium | Segundo Simposio Binacional

All Binational Symposium resources (promotional, proceedings, research, multimedia, etc.), including those that appear elsewhere on the website, will be gathered on this page. Many of these resources may be compiled into the Resource Book for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

These preliminary resources are for research purposes only and may not be duplicated or distributed.

Technology Notes: Video clips on this website will be mp4  or wmv format and normally limited to no more than about 10-15 minutes’ duration; they will open in a separate window. Video files, especially mpg and mp4, can be quite large and slow to download, so be patient, and you probably should attempt viewing the videos only on a high speed/broadband connection. For this reason, formats that download more quickly, such as wmv, will be made available.
Audio files will be mp3 format and will download more quickly. Click on  to play the audio podcast in a plug-in player and to post it in your Del.icio.us network. Click on the Download link to download the audio podcast to your computer or other device.

A third audio podcast listening option that contains a slider bar is also available. Click on the icon to the right to open up the player to show the slider bar and to listen to the recording. This tool may be especially useful to those with a preference for one language or another. The podcasts are bilingual. At times the speakers use English, and at other times they use Spanish. The position of the slider bar in the bilingual podcast will indicate where in the translation to position the slider bar to pick up the translation of that segment. This will reduce the likelihood of having to listen to the entire podcast twice, in order to find the segment that you would like to hear.
