Día de los Muertos:the significance of death

in mexican culture

Join the UNM Latin American & Iberian

Institute (LAII) for this free professional

development workshop for K-12 educators.

We will explore the history of Día de los

Muertos; tour the intriguing exhibit on “Skulls

and Sickles” on display at the UNM Zimmerman

Library (which considers the visual rhetoric of

death in Mexican art); hear a special lecture on

the topic from Dr. Suzanne Schadl, curator and

coordinator of UNM’s Latin American library

collections; and discuss ways to meet Common

Core reading and writing standards while

exploring this meaningful celebration.

Participants will be provided with certificates

of professional development and copies of

relevant curriculum materials. Please pre-

register by contacting Keira Philipp-Schnurer

at the LAII: kphilipp@unm.edu | 505.277.7047.
