Our host will be Dr. Harvey Williams, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. Dr. Williams is one of our country’s leading experts on Nicaragua who, over the past 35 years, has lived, studied, taught and extensively traveled in Nicaragua. Joining him will be Dr. John Allensworth, Senior Lecturer in Geosciences at Georgia State University who also has traveled throughout Nicaragua and will lecture about the awesome, vast and varied volcanic landscape. Dr. Frank Erickson, Professor Emeritus of Latin American Geography at Kent State University, also has traveled extensively in Nicaragua, will be with us to explain the historic evolution of Nicaraguan society and settlement. And, as we have done so many times over the past number of years, all participants will have the opportunity to benefit by the expertise of Kathie Lentz, a noted professional photographer, who will provide photographic instruction that will culminate with having participants’ photos exhibited in several post field trip gallery shows. Over the years, these photographic shows have become popular attractions in northeastern Ohio.
