Dr. Patricia McAnany on 'Questioning Maya Collapse: A reconsideration of apocalyptic narratives'

2010-09-28 by

Can the collapse of ancient civilizations be used as lessons for current environmental crises? Were they good stewards of their surroundings, or did deforestation, erosion and overpopulation result in their demise? Noted archaeologist Dr. Patricia McAnany of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and the Kenan Eminent Professor in the Dept. of Anthropology, examines this question. Dr. McAnany completed her undergraduate work at UAA. She is introduced by Prof. Kerry Feldman, who taught her as an undergrad.
