The Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria is organizing a third edition of Mexico Ethnographic Field School based at the Maya Intercultural University of Quintana Roo (UIMQROO), Mexico - April 29th - May 19th, 2027.
The field school is organized in partnership with the Universidad Intercultural Maya de Quintana Roo (UIMQRoo). Located in the Yucatán Peninsula, the UIMQRoo is among a network of a dozen higher education institutions in Mexico offering an Indigenous-centred curriculum and bilingual education (Maya/Spanish). Learning from Indigenous communities abroad in an educational context like the UIMQROO represents a unique opportunity for UVic students to develop intercultural understanding and a greater appreciation for Indigenous worldviews. While exploring ethnographic methods, participants will discover some of the unique contemporary cultural practices and socio-economic dynamics that characterize contemporary Maya culture in the Yucatán Peninsula.
