The 10th grade humanities classes will be going to the Albuquerque Museum on the mornings of 11/14 and 11/16 to view the exhibit Dictators and Disappeared: Democracy Lost and Restored. The students will be split into two groups, one going on the 14th, and the other on the 16th.
The purpose of the trip is to study the state of democracy from the mid-20th century to today in the Southern Cone (the southernmost region of South America) and as a way to reflect on the global trend of increasing authoritarianism over the last decade. While at the Museum, students will also visit the permanent history and art exhibits to reflect on wider historical questions that will help them begin preparing for the cumulative and cross-curricular project at the end of the term, in which students will create their own countries and need to be able to discuss economic and political systems, as well as other components of a society.
Students will be gone from 8:40am – 1:30pm those two days.
