Voices of the Maya Field School
Belize : 16th -27th June 2025
​​
The Voices of the Maya Anthropological field school is a once in a lifetime opportunity where attendees will be given the chance to learn and practice conducting two-week ethnographic fieldwork with Q’eqchi’ and Mopan in Belize, Central America.
​
The field school is for adults aged over 18. It is aimed at those with little to no experience in anthropology and field research. People who want to do something a little different but can’t commit to long term study or perhaps those who just want a new adventure or want a change in direction.
​
The course will predominantly be taught with and within a Mayan community in the Toledo district of Belize, surrounded by tropical rainforest. Additionally, there will be 2 hrs of pre fieldwork and 2 hrs of post fieldwork training, this will be conducted online.
​
During the fieldwork you will be living with a Mayan homestay family undertaking training relevant to the course and experiencing traditional Maya way of life. There will be opportunities for excursions within the surrounding area.
