Teo Cintli: Sacred Maiz - Story of the Continent
Instructors Patrisia Gonzales & Roberto Rodriguez
This class will perhaps be different than other classes you’ve taken.
We assume you 
come to class with knowledge, thus we expect you to share
it in class. Part of the experience of the class is how knowledge is
disseminated and shared. The class deals with issues of origins,
ancient migrations, ancient foods and medicines of the Americas,
indigenous knowledge, identity formation and of connectedness between
North, Central and South America. Little of what we know on the topics
was learned inside of a classroom, thus, a good portion of the class
will be spent out of class and outdoors. The class will also be project
oriented as each student will be asked to research maps, foods and
partake in poetry or storytelling.
