Lessons from Pandemics of the Past
History and disease come together in this talk and conversation about past pandemics. Starting with the Plague of Justinian in 541 and bringing us up to today鈥檚 scourge, Stefanie Iverson Cabral shows how the COVID-19 pandemic is not unprecedented and was actually inevitable. How were pandemics managed in the past? How has structural racism and bias impacted people trying to live through a pandemic?
Presented to students on December 3, 2020.
