Hi folks

Hi. My name is Isabelle Maurice-Hammond and I'm a last minute drop in in this class. As such, I have a lot of catching up to do.

I'm an third year Anthropology major, and as of three days ago, a Latin American Studies minor. Three days ago was when I discovered that I could actually pursue this as a minor, at which point I dropped English Lit. like a hot potatoe. I am in this class because I have a very deep interest in Latin America, especially when it pertains to Indigenous or women's rights. Having lived in Honduras, and having an adopted brother from there, has also contributed in kindling my interest in this part of the world as well as the various cultures found there.

Ultimately, however, I want to go into Mesoamerican archaeology and teach while conducting my own research. I simply want my knowledge of Latin America to be multi faceted, and not completely rooted in the past.
