The institute will include excursions to ruined, ancient settlements and modern-day indigenous communities. We will have a week on archaeology, a week on ethnohistory, a week on the arts, and a week on film. Participating lecturers will be drawn from among Oaxacan scholars and a few faculty from the University of Oregon, home of a number of renowned Mesoamerican digital collections. We will offer optional technological workshops on Fridays. Curricular materials that result from the institute will become part of a free, shared resource among participants.</div><div><br></div><div>We have room for up to 27 teachers, plus up to 3 grad students who are preparing to be teachers. Participants who are selected from the national competition will receive a stipend of $3000 plus what is left from another $300 being held back to cover entrance fees on field trips, etc. The $3000 stipend is meant to cover most expenses such as travel, lodging, and food, but we cannot guarantee that it will cover all expenses (depending upon the choice of hotels and restaurants). Participants will arrange their own travel and lodging, but we are organizing some specials with hotels placed near our meeting locations in downtown Oaxaca city. Books are normally to be purchased from the stipend, too, but we are making digital versions of all the readings to save the participants money and to prevent having to carry heavy books in suitcases.
