How can storytelling help us to think about our current global situation—and vice versa? This course will introduce students to the study of narrative with a focus on the figure of the virus. We will examine narratives of various forms: novel, short story, photo-text book, history/nonfiction, personal essay, etc. We will also explore "viral transmission" as a metaphor in order to think about the spread of stories between people and communities, across history, and online. Along the way, we will consider whether and how each reading might affect how we process the present pandemic and its impacts on ourselves and others.

Mondays from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
