On Thursday August 1, 2019 Rebecca Orozco will be presenting on “Culture, Language and Horses” at Schieffelin Hall at 7 pm.

In June 2018 Rebecca Orozco went to Kazakhstan on a Fulbright-Hays Group Study Project. Her proposed research topic was to compare the original domestication of the horse which occurred on the steppes of Central Asia with the re-domestication by Native American groups after the conquest.  Hear about her journey and the unexpected turns her project took.

Rebecca Orozco is a third-generation resident of Cochise County and currently teaches history and anthropology at Cochise College and the University of Arizona.  Her undergraduate degree in anthropology (1974) and graduate degree in history (1987) are from the University of Arizona. She has traveled widely and lived in Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala where she worked as an archaeologist.
