Hello I am Fred. I am a second-year student here with an undecided major of some combination of history and political science. I’m from West Virginia and I enjoy seeing new places. A few summers ago I traveled to Ecuador and the Amazon rainforest and was exposed to the intriguing Latin American culture in the flesh. In this class I hope to expand on my understanding of this culture through the study of the continents history as a whole.  I am most excited to learn about the dynamic clashes and interactions between European explorers with the native peoples.
