The Guatemala Scholars Network is an organization of over 300 academics and professionals whose major research field is Guatemala. This homepage is presented as part of the GSN mission to foster communication among scholars; to share information and stay informed about Guatemala; to provide a forum for Guatemalan voices to be heard in North America; and to support the renaissance of Mayan intellectual and academic activity taking place in Guatemala. GSN was formed in 1982 as an outgrowth of the 1981 National Teach-In on Guatemala, an event organized in response to the intensified violence in Guatemala, violence which threatened our work and the lives of our Guatemalan informants and friends.
