Making Historical Sense of Mexico

Dr. Michael Brescia Ph.D

Master Classes

Making (Historical) Sense of Mexico Learn new things. Reconsider conventional wisdom. Advance your level of knowledge. Discuss current issues with civility and respect with Dr. Michael M. Brescia, Curator of Ethnohistory and Affiliated Professor of History and Law.

The headlines scream that Mexico in the new millennium has become a lawless state riddled with political corruption, drug violence, and extreme inequality, which push its citizens to seek economic security across the international border in the United States. In this four-part series, Dr. Brescia will take you beyond the media headlines and political soundbites and introduce you to our southern neighbor by examining the manner in which history, geography, and culture have shaped modern Mexico since its independence from Spain.
