This year-long series of Oakley discussions applies an interdisciplinary medical-humanities lens to the pandemic. The series is running in two parts: Corona Time: Making Sense of a Global Pandemic addresses a number of key questions in relation to the pandemic, including: history of epidemics, race and white supremacy, isolation and trauma, surveillance and emergency powers, and global health policy, all through discussions with guest speakers. In between Corona Time meetings, we are hosting a series of Pandemic@Williams events to see how our community here at Williams is dealing with and working through the pandemic.
Join us on Wednesday, November 4, at 5:00 pm for a discussion about isolation, emergency and surveillance with Sherine Hamdy (Medical Anthropology, University of California Irvine) and Soha Bayoumi (History of Science, Harvard University.)
