Event Details
When does the pandemic end? Some questions cannot be completely explained through science, but instead require cues from history. Yale Historian Frank Snowden has long been fascinated by the ways epidemics hold up a "mirror" to the social, cultural, and political conditions in which they arise. He is the author of Epidemics and Society: From the Black Death to the Present, the World Economic Forum #1 book to read for context on the coronavirus outbreak, and lecturer of the Open Yale Course: Epidemics in Western Society Since 1600. On June 17, Professor Frank Snowden will briefly discuss his latest book Epidemics and Society, which has just been published in China last month, and further share his insights on the pandemic with us during a moderated discussion.
