In colonial Oaxaca, Mexico, the spiritual and material economies were closely intertwined. Fundraising, sponsorships, and other\u00a0obra pias<\/em>\u00a0(charitable works) covered the cost of endeavors like paying the dowries of orphaned girls, or constructing a convent for Indigenous women. Centuries later, not all of these projects have been remembered equally. Some made permanent changes to the urban landscape and are still discussed today; others have been essentially forgotten. This talk will explore the history of philanthropy in Mexico, the process of researching these projects, and contemporary public history of colonial events.<\/p>\n

Join us to learn about the many topics you can study through the interdisciplinary\u00a0LACUSL major<\/a>\u00a0at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
