Jacy Lance, an Elon College Social Sciences Fellow, presented her research at the annual conference of the Southeast Council for Latin American Studies (SECOLAS), which took place March 16-19 at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
Jacy is a dual major in international studies (regional concentration: Latin America) and political science with minors in Latin American studies, Spanish and business.
Her presentation was entitled “1994-2010: The Impact of the Zapatista Movement on Indigenous Struggles in Chiapas” and was based on her Fellows project.
