DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Breglia will unpack the complexities pertaining to th
 e rights of World Heritage sites\, tourism and modern cultures as it relat
 es to Chichén Itzá in Mexico. .\nhttps://alexandria.libnet.info/even

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>While millions of international tourists a
  year visit the World Heritage site of Chich&eacute\;n Itz&aacute\; in sou
 thern Mexico and eagerly bask in its ancient wonder\, few people appreciat
 e the contemporary significance of the archaeological site. Using archival
  and ethnographic research\, Dr. Breglia will discuss 1) how modern scienc
 e and modern Maya people came to view this "ancient Maya" site\, 2) the ro
 le of the heritage site in contemporary community life\, and 3) the heated
  debates over who has the rights to benefit from the enormous incomes that
  such "wonders of the world" generate from international tourism.</p>\n<p>
 Lisa Breglia is Senior Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Global Af
 fairs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at George Mason Uni
 versity where she has worked since 2007. Her 2006 book\, <em>Monumental Am
 bivalence: the Politics of Heritage</em> (University of Texas Press)\, exa
 mines the struggle over national patrimony between public interests and pr
 ivate sector development in Maya archaeological sites across the Yucat&aac
 ute\;n Peninsula. Her second book\,<em> Living with Oil</em> (2013\, UT Pr
 ess)\, is an ethnographic investigation of the effects of Mexico's intensi
 ve offshore oil industry on Gulf coast communities. Her current long-term 
 research focuses on the relationship between resource security and citizen
  security in contemporary Mexico\, and her most recent project focused on 
 experiential dimensions of climate change among Maya farmers.</p>\nhttps:/
