Dr. Keaton Lamle

Since 2018, Dr. Lamle has led the M.A.P.W. study abroad course in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, where writers focus on crafting narratives about the foodways of this uniquely indigenous lynchpin of global cuisine, which gave the world corn, squash, beans, agaves, and avocados. This program鈥� Kennesaw State鈥檚 longest running study abroad opportunity鈥� takes students into small pre-hispanic villages and across the mountains, valleys, and cloud forests of Oaxaca to explore one of the world鈥檚 oldest surviving pre-colonial artisan cultures in one of the most ecologically diverse places on the planet.
