Dr. Earle has been involved in research on the contemporary Maya and their ancestors for more than 35 years. He has also been a vocal advocate for Maya culture, human rights, and political self- determination. Currently, he is working on groundbreaking applied anthropology for rain forest conservation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Dr. Earle has said that his research and advocacy is a \u201clife-long calling to aid the least prosperous, especially the rural smallholder and the shantytown migrant, and to help create sustainable livelihoods in balance with nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57027\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/2014-AnthroExpoFlyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-57027\" src=\"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AVC-Anthropology-Expo-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Click image to enlarge flyer.\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AVC-Anthropology-Expo-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/AVC-Anthropology-Expo-2.jpg 302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click image to enlarge flyer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A 6 p.m. meet &amp; greet reception with Dr. Earle will proceed his 7 p.m. talk, <em>&#8220;Maya Kich\u00e9 State Power Expressed in Sacred Landscapes: Popol Vuh, G&#8217;umarcaj, and the Path of Aj Q&#8217;ij Initiation.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All events will be held in the Health &amp; Sciences Building Lecture Hall (HS-201).<\/p>\n<p>The student Anthropology Club is selling raffle ticket until the Expo to win a DNA Ancestry Kit from National Geographic.
