¿Por qué estudiar la historia?

La “historia” es mucho más que una simple recopilación de fechas y hechos, es una mirada y un enfoque hacia el pasado, hacia las cultura y la sociedad que estuvieron antes de nosotros. Pero, ¿cómo se construye la historia? ¿ha sido la historia siempre la misma? y ¿por qué es importante estudiarla? En este foro, Loreto Urrejola y Fernando Marín, autores de Yo y la historia, exploran estas y otras preguntas esenciales para comenzar a entender qué es y cómo se estudia la historia. Un espacio para reflexionar en como la historia no solo nos ayuda a entender nuestro pasado, sino también a pensar críticamente sobre nuestro presente. ¡Inscríbete al evento!
