Description
On December 29th through January 5th, the panelists participated in the CIIS sponsored study-trip to Mexico - "Another World is Possible: Building Autonomy in Chiapas". The trip, led by BAC core faculty, Charlotte Sáenz, allowed them to explore historical and contemporary Zapatismo in the contexts of globalization and legacies of Mayan resistance. During the trip, the group visited various organizations dedicated to autonomous learning, healing, and creativity, including the Indigenous Center of Integral Learning (CIDECI -Universidad de la Tierra). At CIDECI they witnessed an historic gathering of global scientists invited by the Zapatistas to share their diverse knowledges at conCiencias por la humanidad, which translates to “with sciences for humanity” as well as “conscience.”
