Yucatec Maya Women and Empowerment Evaluating the Framework for Development in a Small Village Ellen R. Kintz (SUNY Geneseo)

2 My work with the Yucatec Maya has shifted to focus on empowering women and on building a framework for development in the small village of Cobá, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

3 A Brief Consideration of the Concept of Agency

4 Duality of Structure

5 The Riddle We Seek to Solve… How does social reproduction becomes social transformation?

6 When agency is considered, it must focus attention on personhood, desire, and intentionality.

7 The focus of this presentation is on - (1) simple social structure (the construction of kitchen gardens (2) other small development activities) and agency - the capacity to make a difference - - as these are revealed by Yucatec Maya women in the very beginning of the 21 st century.
