We are recording these stories to broaden our understanding of what education and childhood were like in the Dominican Republic in the early 20th century. We aim to go beyond written sources to capture the diverse ways people learned, both within and outside of formal schools.

Excellent 🧵with timeless insights about technology and power
Today, we remember Max Horkheimer, a leading figure of the Frankfurt School and one of the most influential voices in 20th-century critical theory. In his work, Horkheimer offered an early and powerful critique of technology as a social and political force.
