Kiss of Death: Online Teaching ResourcesUniversity Press of Colorado are offering free resources for teachers who are suddenly teaching online and want to cover COVID-19 with their students. In the video, Dr. Kitta discusses the differences between gossip, rumor, urban legend, and conspiracies theories, then relates all of these folklore genres to the COVID-19 outbreak. This update contextualizes the work previously done in her book and gives a starting point for discussion about COVID-19 that can be used independently or in conjunction with the text. You can download an open access copy of The Kiss of Death: Contagion, Contamination, and Folklore. Chapter 2 specifically will align nicely with the use of the video.

Epidemic HistoriesWhen the Covid-19 pandemic struck, I was teaching seminars on the visual and material cultures of science and on the history of collecting. Students met in museums or libraries to work hands-on on primary sources. The pandemic made it impossible for me to continue teaching as usual. The transition to remote learning meant reinventing my seminars, from final requirements to in-class activities. I tried to turn the problem into an opportunity. What could we do thanks to the present situation, rather than in spite of it? How could we build community at a time of social distancing?
As the present overwhelmingly captured our attention, the internet became the main means of acquiring information and anything unrelated to the pandemic seemed a distraction. I realized that we needed to embrace the confusion and put it at the center of our collective thinking. I proposed to the students to direct part of their browsing toward exploring moments in the past that offered inspiration or warnings about the present. My hope, and pedagogical experiment, was that working on a collective project would give a direction to our desire to learn more and to understand our present. What can we learn by expanding our attention to what people in the past had done in similar circumstances?
Each student, according to their interests, backgrounds, and curiosities, identified one or more theme related to the visual and material culture of infectious diseases. We gathered online to share work in progress and offer feedback. We shared knowledge, hopes, and concerns. We realized that we are less new than we like to think. We also realized that there is no obvious progress in history: the values that a society cherishes and identifies with can be easily wiped away under the banner of the “public” good. Who and what is included in the notion of the “public” is of crucial relevance for the social outcomes of epidemics. Social and physical health need to go hand in hand. This makes history, and the humanities in general, particularly relevant to the present moment.
The students’ engagement in this project confirmed my belief that history is not just about the past: it is about making sense of the present to build a better future. We look back to move forward.
I am proud to present their work.

Another Silent Spring—Donald WorsterIn this virtual exhibition, historian Donald Worster explains how human relations with other animals, wild and domestic, are at the core of a majority of epidemics. In the face of the current coronavirus crisis, he argues that an exclusive focus on human life and economy will keep neither the planet nor ourselves healthy. We must decide “whether we humans can or want to restore and protect the health, not just of ourselves, but also of the planet.”

Global Views of COVID 19ORIAS created the Global Views of COVID 19 webinar series to help teachers deepen their understanding of the unfolding pandemic. We know that even as educators are grappling with the personal and professional effects of the current situation, they are also fielding questions from students about COVID 19. What can we expect in the coming weeks as the COVID 19 pandemic unfolds? And how does regional context affect the spread of the virus, political responses to the pandemic, and economic consequences for everyday people?
Each event in this series explores the pandemic in one region. You'll also find links to slidedecks, recordings (as available), and additional resources.

Public Health On Call: COVID-19 and the 1918 Flu Pandemic—What Can We Learn?COVID-19 is often compared to the 1918 flu pandemic that claimed millions of lives and caused massive social disruption. But to what extent is the novel coronavirus different and what lessons can we learn from the successes and failures of previous epidemics? Medical historians Jeremy Greene and Graham Mooney talk to Stephanie Desmon about this comparison, the history of quarantines, and what we will learn from what we are living through right now.

Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from a Quarantined CityFrom one of China's most acclaimed and decorated writers comes a powerful first-person account of life in Wuhan during the COVID-19 outbreak and the toll of this deadly calamity on families and individual lives.
On January 25, 2020, acclaimed Chinese writer Fang Fang began publishing an online diary to help herself and others understand what was happening in Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak. Deeply personal and informative, her posts reveal in real-time the widespread impact of the virus and the government's mandatory quarantine on the city's residents. Each day, she gives voice to the fears, frustrations, anger, and hope of millions of ordinary Chinese, reflecting on the psychological impact of forced isolation, the role of the internet as both community lifeline and source of misinformation, and most tragically, the lives of neighbors and friends taken by the deadly virus.In a nation where authorities use technology to closely monitor citizens and tightly control the media, writers often self-censor. Yet the stark reality of this devastating situation drives Fang Fang to courageously speak out against social injustice, corruption, abuse, and the systemic political problems which impeded the response to the epidemic. For treading close to the line of “dissident," she pays a price: the government temporarily shuts down her blog and deletes many of her published posts.
A fascinating eyewitness account of events as they unfold, Wuhan Diary captures the challenges of daily life and the changing moods and emotions of being quarantined without reliable information. As Fang Fang documents the beginning of the global health crisis in real time, she illuminates how many of the countries dealing with the novel coronavirus pandemic have repeated similar patterns and mistakes.
Blending the eerie and dystopian, the profound and the quotidian, Wuhan Diary is a remarkable record of our times and a unique look at life in confinement in an authoritarian nation.

Fear of a Pandemic: Deconstructing Global Diseases in the Modern EraSince the rise of Covid-19, confinement has had a complicated dynamic in how people understand the course of the epidemics, elevating new anxieties and fears about global movement. As the number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus continues to increase, unprecedented public health policies to stop reduce and socialization has altered mobility. Today, everyone is adjusting to a new era, one where most people have become hyper aware of microbial invasion with old and familiar tales of racial health inequalities, science culture wars, embodiment, immunity, and the fight to breathe. Fear of a Pandemic traces the history of global epidemics from the nineteenth century to the near present by exploring how apprehensions about contagion are tied to racism, migration, and power. The course meditates on this fear through the theory of containment with special attention to racialized bodies in prisons, sanitoriums, and plantations. It is not only the case that non-white people were racialized and perceived to vectors of disease but that their labor was withheld, they were forced to live in segregation, and in some cases, they were experimented upon. By showing the links between public health policies and the containment of the oppressed, the course situates epidemics within the context of the history of slavery, colonialism, experimentation, ghettos, and carceral studies. During the course, we will analyze archival materials that show how cholera, sleeping sickness, influenza, malaria, HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and the recent set of coronaviruses are tied to shifting notions of captive spaces and contagion. Using poetry, sound, images, and video, we will collectively engage with non-white, femme, and queer narratives that transcend pathology and confinement and consider how Femmscapes and Afrofuturists generate radical healing practices that circumvent pandemics.

Reading List—Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19On Tuesday, April 28th, Black Women Radicals hosted the Zoom event, “Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19.” If you missed the event on Zoom, you can watch it below or here on their YouTube channel.
The event focused on the following: The coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has completely transformed everything that we thought was “normal” in our lives. From social distancing to quarantining, to the ineffectiveness and ignorance of political leaders and governments, to loss, and more, COVID-19 has brought to the forefront critical issues that cross borders and boundaries. However, what are Black women’s perspectives on the pandemic that is COVID-19? Why is it imperative that we center Black women’s thoughts and opinions on and about the coronavirus? What can we learn from these perspectives, thoughts, feelings, and concerns about the pandemic that can help as we navigate through this and after it?
Panelists for “Black Feminist Perspectives on COVID-19” included Nana Afua Yeboaa Brantuo, Stephanie Kimou, and Vilissa Thompson.

COVID-19 Memory Archival Project & TutorialThe COVID-19 Memory Archival Project is an initiative from Duke Kunshan University's Health Humanities Lab to create an archive of the communities individual and shared experiences during the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak utilizing ArcGIS StoryMaps, rich media, and storytelling. We not only hope to preserve experiences through a memory archive, but also through personal narration, bring comfort, peace, reflection and healing to participating individuals. In times of anxiety and adversity, we retreat to an old human practice - storytelling, combined with online multimedia tools, to bring forth the human experience in times of crisis. Participants are encouraged to utilize an array of mediums including but not limited to video, audio, hyperlinks, interactive interfaces and GIS maps, paired with written text. The collected stories can provide a rich library and digital history that can act as source material for future reflection, research and project outcomes.

Care in Uncertain Times SyllabusAs we collectively deal with the implications of social distancing, stay-at-home orders, and a global pandemic, questions of care and self-care have become ever more important. These books, issues, and articles investigate different ways that care can bind together individuals and communities where larger institutions or governments fail to intervene. They show how radical care is essential to enduring precarity and to laying the groundwork for new futures.

Microbial Geographies SyllabusRecently, scientists, social scientists and humanists have declared it is time to rethink the relationships between human and non-humans. Although scholars of science and technology in society and geographers have a long history of thinking with and about materiality, they have only recently turned their attention to the microscopic co-inhabitants of the planet. What happens when the material, too, is living? In this class we will grow our own microbial companion species, working with cheese, kombucha, and kimchi, to think about how bodies are, as geographers Dixon and Jones III (2015) suggest, “stretched across space and time” through their relationships with microbial life. Through hands-on fermentation practice, microbiological culturing and analysis, readings, discussions, writings, and tastings, students will not only gain familiarity with the basic concepts and theories of microbiology, as well as microbiological culturing techniques, they will gain a deep understanding of ongoing debates in cultural geography, anthropology, and science and technology studies, about our human responsibilities in a more–than–human world.

Collective Anthro Mini Lectures Project for #COVIDcampusTaking very seriously the clear and compelling calls to resist the fiction that we can become brilliant virtual teachers overnight and the cogently articulated worries that this pandemic and the rapid push for online instruction may have long term consequences for higher education given the many companies, state legislators, and administrators who have been pushing for pedagogy without faculty for decades now, we have created a platform for anthropologists (and those anthropology adjacent) to create and share 10-30 minute videos and accompanying texts and pedagogical resources (slides, film clips, lesson plans/assignments suitable for online submission) as a way to supplement, enliven, and collectivize the work we are all already doing to take our courses online.

As the nation and the planet pivot to suppress the spread of the virus responsible for COVID 19, all of our lives and routines will be affected and upended. We will continue, to the degree possible with our technology, to maintain our relationships, try to do our jobs and continue our classes, try to carry on — but you are living through a world historical event that has the potential to change our society in permanent ways we can only begin to glimpse today. In light of this, I would like to offer you an opportunity to document these times as a historian. The purpose of this assignment is to give you a chance to practice your historical thinking skills as you live through these novel times.
