NewMythsAboutAncientMayas:AHistoryofthe2012Phenomenon

Curiousabout thehypesurroundingthepurported end of the world and theMayacalendar? If the turnout forPro-fessor John Hoopes’ recent lecture at

the Lawrence Public Library is any indication,northeastKansascertainly is. Over100peopleshoweduponNovember7thtohearDr.Hoopes,AssociateProfessorofAnthropologyattheUni-versity of Kansas. Hoopes presented, “NewMyths About Ancient Mayas: A History of the2012Phenomenon.”

Hoopes and others have shown that the ideasthatareusuallyattributedtoancientMayascanultimatelybetracedtoEuropeanbeliefsystemssuchasmedievalastrologyandChristianescha-tology. Fueledbyacademicandpopularspecu-lation, these notions evolved over time into acontemporary mythology that weaves togetherscholarly misinterpretations, Romantic asser-tions, metaphysical truths, and countercultureactivism. When embellished by self-promotingoccultists these have resulted in an outpouringof popular myth that reveals more about ourownhopesandfearsthanitdoesaboutancientMayas.

Whether the world will end this December isanybody’sguess,but there isno indication thattheancientMayathoughtitwould.Hoopesnot-edinhislecturethatonetempleinscriptionpre-dicted that a certain member of Maya royaltywouldstillberememberedthousandsofgenera-tionsintothefuture.Theprojectionsinthispas-sage imagine time extending well beyond thisyear. By some accounts December 21st, 2012doesstilldenoteanextraordinaryoccurrence;it

will mark theend of theMaya calen-dar’s grandcycle—almost25,630 years!However theworldwillstartagain on Dec.22nd, the irstday of the newcalendar.

Hoopeshashada longstandinginterest inpseudoscienceand pseudo-archaeology, and has been interviewed aboutthe Maya calendar and 2012 for TheNewYorkTimes,ThePeople’sDaily(China), National Pub-licRadio,andmanyothernewspapersandmag-azines. ProfessorHoopes has been featured infour television documentaries: Apocalypse2012(CBC & CNBC), Apocalipsis 2012 (DiscoveryChannel Latin America), 2012:TheMayanApoc-alypse(Timeline Films, BBC) and the upcomingtwo-night television event, EvacuateEarth andTheMayanApocalypse2012(National Geograph-ic Channel), premiering on Sunday, December2nd andMonday, December 3rd, 2012.

CoordinatorforLatinAmericanStudies

T he Associate Director over-sees the M.A. program inLatin American Studies,

serving as advisor to the currentcohortofstudentsandalsoaschairof the Graduate Studies Commit-tee. I took on this position withthree interrelated goals in mind:irst, to reform the curriculum andchange the local culture in waysthatwouldmake theprogrambothmore intellectually rigorous andmoreappealingtocurrentandpro-spective students; second, to im-prove the quality of the inal writ-tenprojects,thethesisandthecom-parative research paper, throughbetter skill development and earlyplanningbeginninginthe irstyear;andthird,todevotesustainedeffortto recruiting a largerpool of appli-cants foradmissionto theprogramso that itwouldbecome largerandmore selective simultaneously. Thoughwehaveencounteredsomeunforeseenpotholesalongtheway,my impression is that so far thedrive is going well. Students havebeen responsive to the idea thatthey can best prepare themselvesfor conceptualizing and writingsophisticated research projectswith coherent theory and feasiblemethodologies by consistently en-rolling inhigh-level graduate semi-nars,andfacultyhaverespondedbydesigning new courses that areespecially suited for graduate stu-dents or offering versions of exist-ing courses recon igured just forgrad students. The formerwillbe-come available for the irst time nextfall.

The Graduate Studies Committeehas worked toward making thegoals and expectations of the pro-grammore transparentbycreatinga set of criteria for the inal oralexams and by proposing new cur-ricular requirements that establishbreadth, direction and improvedqualityinthisinterdisciplinarypro-gram.Thesewillbediscussedsoonby the Executive Committee. TheGradCommittee's next taskwill betore-examinethetwocorecourseswiththegoalofestablishingasetofguidelines for teaching them.

We have also redesigned the pro-gram brochure, thanks to Sydney'sfacilitywithcomputergraphics,andhave sent it out electronically toover 110 professors at liberal artscolleges and small universities inthe 5-state region that surroundsKansas in the hopes that they canidentify undergraduate studentswith an interest in Latin AmericanStudiesandpointtheminourdirec-tion.Earlierthissemesterweaskedour own faculty to identify col-leagues across the country whocoulddothesame. Ina fewweekswewill know if this has generatedrenewed interest in the M.A. pro-gram.

Coming up in the spring semester,I'mlookingforwardtoresuscitatingthe Graduate Research Symposiumwhichwill be revamped to empha-sizeacollectivecritiqueofalimitednumber of student presentations,with the goal of encouraging revi-sions and possible publication(we'removingawayfromthecom-petitive aspect of previous sympo-sia). It will be held WednesdayMarch6 in theBig12Roomof thestudentunionandwewouldlovetoseeasolid turnoutofstudents, fac-ulty and our friends in the LatinAmericanist community for one ormoreofthethreepanels.

Trent has been working as a re-search associate for the popular independent research and information organization since this Fall. COHA’s interests focus on increas-ing the importance of the inter-American relationship, as well as encouraging the for-mulation of rational and constructive U.S. policies towards Latin America.

Boultinghouse’s first research article, “Fall-out from reactionary Costa Rican Road Con-struction Project: the Latest in Chinchilla Corruption Allegations,” was published on September 19th, 2012 and focused on Costa Rica, corruption, and the future of the Laura Chinchilla administration. Boultinghouse also recently wrote on the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections and the outlook for U.S. policy toward Latin America in, “For Obama, Four More Years Requires Willingness to Look South.”

Trent has also been featured in a TV inter-view with Press TV, alongside COHA stal-wart Kate Hayden.

UndergraduateHighlightsBy Peter Haney Asst. Director & Undergraduate Advisor

I t is hard to believe I have already been at KU for a year as Assistant Director and undergraduate coordinator. Over the past year it has often seemed like

everything was coming at me all at once. Still, while struggling to meet deadlines and learn old systems while new systems are being phased in, I have had the privilege of getting to know wonderful colleagues and working with some genuinely inspiring stu-dents. When I was an undergraduate, my engagement with Latin America was what gave me the motivation to finish college, and it has been wonderful to meet thought-ful and accomplished students who share my fascination with the region’s history and cultures. Having taught for ten years in multiple set-tings and a variety of disciplines, I can say with confidence that KU Latin American Studies majors match the very best students I have taught. I arrived at KU just as the new requirements for the major in Latin American Studies were approved. Today we move forward with a streamlined and well-integrated major that maintains the rigor and choice that Latin American Stud-ies students have always enjoyed. As new generations of students move through our new core courses, I am confident that they will learn from each other as much as they learn from their professors. In the Spring I was fortunate enough to teach the first incarnation of our Capstone Seminar (LAA 450), and this Fall I am near-

ly finished with the first “Interdisciplinary Themes in Latin American Studies” (LAA 300). I am pleased to find that the students are highly engagedand motivated to share ideas and challenge each other. I look for-ward to many more rewarding semesters. Right now the effort to recruit new majors and minors is our key priority. We are particularly proud of seven majors and two minors who graduated this past May. One of these, Trent Boultinghouse, has spent the summer and fall as a Research Associate with the Council on Hemispheric Affairs in Washington, D.C. In this capaci-ty he has contributed to reports on the re-election of Hugo Chávez in Venezuela and a recent summary of prospects for the second Obama administration’s policy toward Latin America. Further reports will be available at www.coha.org. Another graduate, sum-mer FLAS fellow Jordan Sparrow has been teaching English, Portuguese, and SAT preparation classes in Costa Rica while liv-ing in Heredia, Costa Rica. Right now Jor-dan is also interning with Education USA, a non-profit organization run by the U.S. State Department that advises international students on study in the United States. Check out the jack-o-lantern he carved from a watermelon for Halloween at http://jordansparrow.wordpress.com/ where he blogs every so often about his “Vida Tica.” Latin American Studies alum Sam Spur-lock, for her part, has traveled to Scandina-via after her summer FLAS fellowship to study Miskitu with Prof. Laura Herlihy in Nicaragua. She continues to blog about life and travel at

http://samspurlock.wordpress.com/. Some 2012 graduates have stayed closer to home. Caroline Dickinson, is in Lawrence working for General Dynamics Information Technology/Vangent, and James Baker is working with the Shawnee Mission School District’s Middle School ESL Centers as an ESL/Spanish aide while applying to gradu-ate programs. After graduating with honors, serving as student representative on the Lat-in American Studies Undergraduate Com-mittee, 2011-2012 FLAS fellow Mary Grace Felton has been working as a server in the Kansas City area while saving up and applying to law schools. Mary Grace hopes to use her Spanish and her background in Latin American Studies to work in the im-migration field. Andrew Smith, who grad-uated with a business major and Latin American Studies minor, is an assistant manager at QuikTrip, where he has set his sight on moving up the ranks and anticipates starting a new position soon that will in-volve training other assistant managers. In his spare time, he plans to travel—in Latin America of course! Meanwhile back at the Center there are lots of comings and goings. Jeff Miller is back on campus after spending the previous aca-demic year at the University of Costa Rica where he studied Portuguese with FLAS support. Is this “Portuguese in Costa Rica” thing a trend? Among other things, Jeff is serving as this year’s student representative on the Latin American Studies Undergradu-ate Committee. After spending the summer in Guatemala studying Kaqchikel Maya on a summer FLAS fellowship, Alex O’Nelio has decided to stay abroad for the fall. He

returns in the Spring to finish up the Busi-ness side of his Business/Latin American Studies double major. Another FLAS fellow, Zach O’Bea, has begun a year abroad in Brazil at the Funda-ção Armando Alvares Penteado’s Global Connection Program. He will be returning in Fall 2013. Also coming back after a semester off campus is LAS/Environmental Studies major Emily Car-penter, who as of this writing has just fin-ished an internship with the Student Con-servation Association. Over the last six-teen weeks, Emily has been doing environ-mental education at the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge near Bonners Ferry, Ida-ho. After a great trip to Washington last semester with Melissa Birch’s Model Or-ganization of American States class, Gena Pollack and graduate student Jorge So-berón-Hernández travelled to Texas to view the Model Organization of American States at Baylor University. Jayhawk fans will forgive them this foray into enemy territory. Back here in Lawrence, Sarah Stern and photographer Gary Mark Smith recently celebrated the publication of Rocinha the Book, which features photo-graphs the pair took of the famous favela of Rio de Janeiro. Readers can check out a preview of the images at www.rocinhathebook.com/. For the most part, announcements about graduations will have to wait until May, but we do have one December graduate to announce. Congratulations to Danielle Olson who will finish her BA with a dou-ble major in Business and Latin American Studies. Congratulations are also due to Ashley Cotton, who has been accepted to a graduate program in Political Science at Texas A&M Commerce. Several of us got together early in the Fall semester for an undergraduate bienvenida in which several students who had returned from semesters or summers abroad shared their experiences and advice with others. Latin American Studies majors Jeff Mil-ler, Sarah Stern, Theodore Pommeren-ke, shared the floor with our ever-cheerful front desk assistant Lauren Lottino, dis-cussing their study in Costa Rica, Para-guay, Perú, and Nicaragua. We’ve got some wonderful people here in the pro-gram, and I will be sorry to see so many of you go in May. So here’s wishing every-

body a restful break and the strength to keep moving forward next semester. The Center of Latin American Studies accom-plished a lot this past year.

Congratulations 2011-2012 Graduates!
