Our September Brown Bag slide show featured scenes from the Chiapas region of Mexico-- presented by Professor Eric Samson. Along with slides of the people and region, Professor Samson shared insights from his dissertation (nearing completion) titled, “Rebellious Geopolitical Division and Environmental Quality in Northeast Chiapas, Mexico.”
During his study of ecopolitics in this region of Mexico, Professor Samson also became interested in the need to better protect the archaeological resources of the area. Today he is director of the Mayan Esteem Project, “established for the recovery of stolen artifacts and the restoration of a pyramid site at Chilón, Chiapas, México.”
