Belize_Mexico Seminar - National Institute of Culture and History

That Belize and the wider Yucatan peninsula share, economic, historical and cultural links is widely recognized. The Mayan archaeological sites found in the region and the evidence of trade among them offers evidence of the early links. In the not so distant past at the beginning of the 20th Century the south of the Yucatan Peninsula had more economic, cultural and migratory relationships with Belize than with the rest of Mexico. The extent, nature and effects of these links, however are perhaps poorly understood. It is with the aforementioned in mind that the Mexico-Belize Seminar has been conceptualized; to generate a better understanding of the social, economic, cultural and environmental reality of each society and to deepen that understanding by going beyond borders; seeking to understand the links and engaging in dialogue and reflection regarding the current social dynamics across borders.

As a result, The University of Belize in collaboration with the University of Quintana Roo, The Institute for Social and Cultural Research, NICH, and The French Institute for Research and Development will be hosting the third Belize-Mexico Seminar on Monday, April 4th and Tuesday, April 5th at the University of Belize Campus in Belmopan.
The Seminar is the third in a series that was previously hosted by the University of Quintana Roo in Chetumal, Mexico and is now being hosted by the University of Belize in Belmopan. The two-day event is organized with the objective of promoting academic discourse between Belize and Mexico.

This third Seminar will feature the presentation of papers from Belizean, Mexican and other international scholars. It will be conducted under the theme “Cultural Dynamics across Borders” and will feature four panel presentations namely: Art, Language and Culture, Population and Society and Publishing.

Lecturers and students from all secondary and tertiary level institutions, as well as interested members of
the public are being encouraged to attend this Seminar and to participate in the panel discussions.
For the purpose education, media houses are also being asked to kindly disseminate information about the hosting of this important Seminar in Belize.
