The past year has been, in a word, unprecedented. What can history teach us about living through COVID-19?

On this episode, Professor Gina Buccola will join me to talk about three Roosevelt University courses that investigate how diseases shaped history.

Gina is a professor of English and chair of the humanities department. Through the Shakespeare Project of Chicago, Gina adapted a new, devastating eyewitness account of the 1603 plague. She and three actors will perform “News From Gravesend: The Wonderful Year” live over Zoom next week.

I hope you’ll enjoy our conversation about how the humanities can help us understand our current crisis.
