GEOG 80.10 COVID-19 and the Social Life of Epidemics

This course interrogates the COVID-19 pandemic, putting it in broader historical, geographic, and scientific contexts.  To do so, it focuses on different disease epidemics, including the Plague, flus, cholera, and HIV/AIDS.  A COVID-19 journal gives students a chance to think, reflect, and process what they are learning and their experiences together.  Through this course, students will better understand science, biomedicine and other healing systems, the medical system, the United States, and global health today.

It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
