¿Qué es una torre en mitad del campo? ¿es un castillo, un corral, un granero, un símbolo de poder, una ruina, un lugar donde jugar…? Aprender Historia es también repensar la Historia, fijarse en los detalles, los porqués y quienes fueron sus protagonistas. La mirada curiosa abre las puertas al conocimiento; así fue la historia de nuestro ponente. Luis Miguel Zahonero, desde niño se apasionó por la Historia y participaba en excavaciones; desde entonces la pasión no ha hecho más que crecer y el camino se ha ido trazando cada vez más claro: será historiador. Desde 2021 tiene un programa de radio que habla de Historia, Arqueología y Patrimonio con una mirada fresca y juvenil.

Creating that utopian society where we normalize the absence of a dichotomy is near impossible, but what all of us can do today is to start encouraging introvertedness to be the norm and stop labelling people into two groups and favoring one over the other. Chelsea Shen lived two juxtaposed lives: the life of the shy and quiet kid and the life of a sociable friend. She used to chalk up her quiet disposition to a language barrier and adjusting to a new environment as a five year old, but as her character developed over the years, she realized that labels and the unspoken societal expectations created her perspective that personality is clear-cut black and white. Now, she ardently believes that tagging the personalities of people, especially from a young age catalyzes a set of expectations on that child whether they like it or not. As a sophomore at Deerfield Academy, Chelsea has experienced a gamut of environments throughout her 15 (almost 16!) years of life.
