[Past Event] Black Death: Mother of All Pandemics | In Person
Course Description:The bubonic plague ravished 14th-century Europe and forever transformed western civilization. Recent ground-breaking scientific discoveries have dramatically revised conventional thinking on the Black Death. This multi-media course offers something for everyone: hard science, medicine, history, economics, politics, religion, psychology, art and culture—and a subway. Not to mention a 600-year-old detective story. Although we consider the COVID-19 event as novel and unprecedented, it is neither. Join us as we explore the shared humanity of these two pandemics. |
