This class will take place on tuesday June 30th from 10am to 11:30am at the West Campus Sala

Mexico’s history is not only found in textbooks—it is present in daily life, public celebrations, national
symbols, and cultural traditions.
This class explores how historical events and ideas continue to shape modern Mexican identity through
symbols such as the national flag, public commemorations like Independence Day and the Revolution,
and cultural practices that remain deeply meaningful today.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how Mexicans relate to history not only as something
from the past, but as something actively remembered and celebrated in everyday life.

The class is designed to be accessible, conversational, and engaging for both residents and visitors
interested in understanding Mexico beyond common stereotypes and surface-level impressions.
No previous background in Mexican history is necessary.
