Announcing “Perspectives On Pandemics,” a One-Credit Course Starting April 6
/The Critical Engagements team has recruited professors and experts from around CMU’s campus to create a special pop-up course to address the coronavirus crisis from a variety of perspectives. (What’s a pop-up course? See the Chronicle of Higher Education for an introduction.)
“Perspectives on Pandemics” (LAR 397D) is a one-credit online class that runs from April 6–May 3, 2020. Taught by professors with expertise in biomedicine, economics, history, public health, literature, medical anthropology, and public policy, the course features four weeks of lectures, discussions, readings, and other materials that will offer a contextualized examination of COVID-19 and other pandemics in world history and culture.
Registration for LAR 397D is open now. Contact Christi Brookes for details or register directly using CMU’s Course Search and Registration portal. Updated information about the course will also be posted on the COVID-19 page hosted by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
