Join NASA (Native American Student Association) in continuing Native Heritage Month with a special Thanksgiving Lecture by Ignacio Gallup-Díaz, professor of History at Bryn Mawr College.
Ignacio Gallup-Díaz specializes in the history of the early modern Atlantic World. Gallup-Díaz is now at work on research projects that explore the development of autonomous African and indigenous communities in Panamá and Suriname during the period of colonization (1500-1800); the intellectual underpinnings of early English expansion; and poetical depictions of the Spanish attempts to subdue eastern Panamá and its peoples.
