Tucson Museum of Art- 140 N. Main Ave. Tucson, AZ.

Join us in Tucson for a public talk with Senior researcher Dr. Gary Feinman of the Field Museum of Natural History, and a global team of researchers are engaged in a remarkable project to learn how human well-being is affected by the kinds of governments we create. How can we learn from our ancestors to make a better world for tomorrow? Dr. Feinman and his team of social scientists are examining dozens of ancient societies on several continents. Their goal is to better understand how the governing systems humans create affect the health and well-being of their people. From these insights, they hope to learn how we can create governing systems that help people thrive. Amerind’s community has helped support these convenings.

Dr. Feinman is the MacArthur Curator of Mesoamerican, Central American, and East Asian Anthropology at the Field Museum of Natural History.  Feinman presently co-directs two international archaeological field projects in Mesoamerica and China. Early in his career, Feinman had leadership roles in the Valley of Oaxaca and Ejutla Valley Archaeological Projects. For 19 field seasons, he has been leading fieldwork in China’s eastern Shandong Province.

We hope you will join us on March 5th.
