Cheryl Medley's Trip to Vienna
In and around Austria
This is a transcription of my class journal for Vienna. Our class’s “core question” was “what are the responsibilities of the educated citizen?” We used the history and culture of fin-de-siècle Vienna to address this question and visited the city to experience first hand the things we had learned.
