On Thursday, November 30 at 12:00 noon, Dr. Carol Wallace, Assistant Professor of Spanish/Hispanic Studies in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, Dr. Pat Farrell of the Department of Geography, Urban, Environment & Sustainability Studies, and UMD students Caiti Marks and Tasha Tart will present Land and Water Rights in Honduras as part of the Alworth International Brown Bag Series.
In May-June 2017, these four members of the UMD community traveled to Honduras as part of a ten-day Witness for Peace delegation. They met with various civic organizations involved in struggles to protect their land and rivers from development projects that put their communities and environment at risk. The people of these communities put their lives on the line to defend their part of our planet. Come hear more about what the delegation learned about these inspirational activists and their struggles, as well as the role of the United States in Honduras.
