Hybrid Event: Tatiana Proskouriakoff Award Lecture Series One Woman’s Fight to Protect Ancient Maya Legacy

See an illuminating evening as Dr. Coggins recounts her groundbreaking advocacy that helped shape U.S. policy and UNESCO conventions on cultural property. With vivid stories and a special video presentation, she reflects on her collaborations with notable figures such as Tatiana Proskouriakoff and the role of the Peabody Museum in the protection of Maya heritage.

This conversation, moderated by Maya Corpus Director Barbara Fash and research associate Steven Quinchia, will bring to life the intersection of scholarship, activism and international policy—and the extraordinary woman who helped change the course of cultural preservation. A reception will follow in the galleries of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology.
