The Coronavirus: Human, Social and Political Implications

On Tuesday March 3, Duke Kunshan University Humanities Research Center in partnership with the Franklin Humanities Institute created a panel on the human, social and political implications of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

The panel consisted of two sessions. The first was an online Zoom presentation to DKU students, with nearly 200 total participants.

Secondly, the HRC convened a panel discussion at the Franklin Humanities Institute, which you can watch on Youtube with subtitles or here.

Finally, you can see the work that DKU faculty and students are creating to archive their experiences of COVID-19 using the ArcGIS storymaps software.
