In this update we focus exclusively on how the pandemic, a natural determination, worked alongside social determinations to produce unequal exposure, illness, and death.

Episode 2: Rights & Responsibilities

A private vs. public discussion frames the exploration of masks, contact tracing, and how rights and responsibilities play a role in USA exceptionalism.

Episode 3: Kansas Meatpacking

Covid and meatpacking are like bees on honey. Meanwhile, Trump signs an executive order to keep plants open.

Covid-19 Resources

From March 2020 to December 2020 we produced monthly vodcasts and study guides to accompany the vodcasts. In January 2021 we will no longer produce the monthly vodcasts. We will continue, each week, to curate and update the resources we’ve used to deepen our knowledge of the covid-19 crisis here in the United States and around the world. It is our hope that students, teachers, and researchers will benefit from this curation and also contribute to the effort by adding to these resources. Please be in touch with us as you find gaps in our knowledge and understanding.
