This is a great question– I also think it’ll be interesting to see how the European colonizers’ conceptions of race differed and had a long-term impact on racial dynamics within Colonial Hispaniola. I think it […]

An under represented topic I believe. Very cool idea. I think it would be cool to try to see how much music pre-contact has survived today. As well as seeing the music scene in Latin America today and whether it […]

For this topic I think it would be cool to examine Dona Marina. Was someone such as herself, who aided the Europeans, forced to abide by such gender norms? Or was she more exempt from conforming due to willingness […]

This topic will be very interesting as I feel like it is not very well thought about or looked into by any average historian learning about Latin America. I am very intrigued by this topic and hope to hear more about it soon!

I feel as though understanding the role of cartography in this time period would really open many peoples eyes to so much during this time of cultural development. I feel as though this will be very interesting to […]
Zachary Milko commented on the post, The Truth of the Aztec Religion, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 5 months ago

This topic is one that could lead to a lot of interesting discovery. Religion seems to often define a culture and how it developed and Aztec beliefs would be especially intriguing to follow and see how it shaped […]

The American Dagger Moth Caterpillar While walking along the trail of Brown’s Lake Bog, I came upon an exciting discovery. A large caterpillar lay on it’s back in the middle of the […]

I think this is a great research topic, because I’ve always wondered about the reality of the Aztec religion in particular, since in a lot of modern and historical descriptions it’s depicted as excessively violent […]

I like this idea a lot. I think it would be really interesting to contemplate the motivations behind native peoples aiding the Spanish and Portugese in their colonial ambitions, and how well they understood the […]

I think this is a really cool idea. I’d definitely be interested to see the evolution of how maps of the Americas evolved as more land was ‘discovered’ by Europeans, and how it advanced to include the larger land […]

One thing that you could possibly look at is the past relationships of the Aztecs and those native people that helped the Spanish. There could be a possible hatred between the two groups, or maybe the natives that […]

Furry Friend I was walking on the path next to Stevenson, between Armington and the Douglass parking lot. My friend and I were on our way to her car. I had […]

Tulip Tree I was walking behind Bornhuetter Hall when I found some strange shaped leaves on the ground. I looked up to find the source: a tall deciduous […]

Black SquirrelsBefore I came to Wooster, I only thought squirrels were brown or gray. I was intrigued when I first stepped foot on campus at the enormous […]

This is a very interesting topic. Music is not really studied a lot in history and it would be really interesting to see what effects music has had on historical events.
Andrew S commented on the post, The Truth of the Aztec Religion, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 5 months ago

This is a very interesting topic. I think because majority of the accounts of the time are European there is some history lost to time about what happened. The Aztec religious practices are very interesting […]

The Economist’s “Africa Rising – the Hopeful Continent” article presents an interesting inquiry into the potential for the poorest inhabited continent on Earth to grow and transform in the midst of seemingly […]
