Unprecedented Times? Socio-Cultural Responses to Pandemic in Historical Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n

Media coverage of Covid-19 makes much of the extraordinary circumstances in which we are now living.\u00a0\u00a0It seems no one can go a day without hearing or using the word: unprecedented.\u00a0\u00a0But is this true?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Please join UFV faculty Michael Corman and Adrianna Bakos for a brief presentation, followed by open discussion that considers both historical and contemporary cultural constructions of the pandemic narrative.\u00a0\u00a0Questions include: why do we need an \u201cOther\u201d on whom to hang blame for an outbreak?\u00a0\u00a0What do the particular characteristics of the blamed \u201cOther\u201d reveal about the cultural anxieties that plague a given community?\u00a0\u00a0And is pandemic disease the socio-cultural disruptor we never knew we needed?<\/p>\n
