Kislak Fellows in Review: Presented by Brandon Agosto
Agosto’s work brings a focused lens to Mayan archaeology along the Gulf of Mexico, with particular attention to the coastal state of Veracruz. During his residency, he engaged deeply with the Kislak Collection, working extensively with its materials to advance his ongoing research.
Agosto will share new insights from his recent findings and discuss how the collection has supported and enriched his scholarly process.
Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A with the online audience.
