Seminar Series – ‘COVID-19’
The Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation (ADI) and the Deakin Science and Society Network (SSN) are co-hosting a virtual seminar series looking at different angles of the COVID-19 pandemic. Launching the series will be a talk by Prof. Priscilla Wald from Duke University on “Contagion: COVID-19, the Outbreak Narrative, and Why We Need to Change the Story”. In her research, Wald discusses how the repetition of particular phrases, images and story lines in “outbreak narratives” influences how both scientists and the public understand the nature and consequences of infection. The seminar will take place on 28 April 2020 and can be streamed via Youtube.
