Public Affairs Talks! Pandemics

Voices from the Past: Pandemics and What We Have Learned

Pandemics are not new. However, for most of us, COVID-19 is the first pandemic we have experienced first-hand. There have been numerous periods of mass illness and epidemics that have affected America, specifically during the early years of our country’s formation and the more well-known Spanish Flu (1918-1920). Join us as we have a conversation with two of our campus experts, Dr. Tom Dicke and Dr. Philippa Koch, about these past events, what we have learned and how those experiences were similar or different from what we are experiencing today.

Presenters: Dr. Tom Dicke, MSU History Department and Dr. Philippa Koch, MSU Religious Studies Department

Format: This event is free and open to the public via live Zoom webinar.  Questions can be submitted via the webinar Q&A feature.
