SEM IN GLOBAL STRATEGY II

While the Covid-19 crisis is still unfolding, it has already revealed much about the history of our time and left lessons that will be important to study before the next pandemic. But even before the pandemic began, archivists and scholars were struggling to develop new methods to record and analyze history in an age of abundant but perishable data. This course aims to train students to analyze historical scholarship on pandemics and global public health and design collaborative research projects. They will work together conducting archival research, interviews, and computational analysis or large corpora of contemporary records. They will also learn how to present their work to their peers and plan follow-up research and publications.
