For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.
Mexican Haciendas and Mayan Cities: Historical Cultures on the Yucatan Peninsula
January 1, 2001 @ 12:00 am - May 31, 2001 @ 11:59 am
Mexican Haciendas and Mayan Cities: Historical Cultures on the Yucatan Peninsula
LOIS ZAMORA, MICHAEL SCHUESSLER, AND MYRA INGMANSON
The Houston Seminar will spend five days and six nights in the Yucatan, exploring two magnificent and competing cultures: the prehispanic culture of the Mayan people as it is inscribed in the great ceremonial centers and the Spanish colonial culture as manifest in the haciendas of the region. We will spend two nights in the sumptuously restored nineteenth-century hacienda of Temoz\n; two nights in a hotel at the archeological site of Uxmal and near the site of Kabah; and the first and last nights in Mérida, colonial and contemporary capital of the Yucatan. The faculty will include Lois Zamora of the University of Houston and Michael Schuessler of Barnard College, assisted by Myra Ingmanson of the United States International University in Mexico City.
A recommended reading list will be available to those who register for the course.
NOTE: This tour was publicized by a previous mailing sent to the current Houston Seminar mailing list, and reservations were open before this brochure was printed. If interested, please inquire for space availability and further information.
