What you'll learn

  • How pandemics are more than just a force of nature, but rather a result of human interaction with their environments.
  • How pandemics have often catalyzed major changes (economic, social, political)
  • How pandemics are an important part of human history.

Requirements

  • An interest in current affairs.

Description

Pandemics are not just a force of nature. They arise in social, political and economic contexts and affect human societies in different ways. History shows us that pandemics have always played a role in human development, as they often exposed fault lines running through society, catalyzing change. CoVid19 is no different. It has emerged at a time in which our faith in our political institutions and leaders is low. It has emerged at a time of escalating global inequality and threatening climate change. Will our societies respond?

Who this course is for:

  • People who are keen to understand our current pandemic a bit better from the perspective of history.

I have an MA in History and one in Education.

I have taught for twelve years, but will remain a student for the rest of my life. My MA is in Modern History with a special focus on the Cold War, decolonisation, African history and the history of the Middle-East.

I have taught across different subjects and age ranges across the world. Apart from teaching, I have campaigned for refugees rights, headed a charity organisation and written a newspaper column. Currently, I live in Vietnam with my family. My first book was published in January 2019 and contextualizes Europe's refugee crisis by looking at recent history.
