Join us next Monday, November 11th at 5pm for an info session about the Honors summer study abroad program in Merida, Mexico! Honors Professor Rob Rabiee will lead an overview of the program and answer any questions you have about the experience!
With the city as your classroom, students will earn credit for History 2900: From Colonialism to Tourism: Five Centuries of Conflict, Conquest, and Resistance in the Yucatan, Mexico. This course takes a deep dive into the history and legacies of colonialism in the Yucatán Peninsula in a four-week, excursion-based seminar. From Mayan dominance to Spanish conquest, nineteenth-century struggles for independence to twenty-first century New Age and “eco” tourism, students use the history of the Yucatán to understand broader trends in the development of the western hemisphere and engage with questions of the common good: issues of historical, social, and environmental justice.
