This course frames Covid19 as a bio-psycho-social phenomenon through learning about some of the lives, communities and social processes that have become intertwined with the pandemic. Lectures by staff on facets of Covid19 will be supplemented by talks from scholars and decision-makers involved in the crisis in different parts of the world. Students will learn about the contexts in which Covid19 has emerged as a public health and social crisis, some of the changes that the disease has effected in different cultural settings and some current theorizing about the shape a post-Covid19 world, where serious epidemics and even pandemics become more common, might take.
