Online Salon: "From Smallpox to 1918 Flu to Coronavirus: Viral Pandemics Past and Present" with Dr. Alan Swedlund

Tuesday, May 5 // 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (MDT)

Please join us tomorrow, May 5, in an Online Salon with Dr. Alan Swedlund, 1995–96 SAR Weatherhead resident scholar and professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Massachusetts, who will be examining viral pandemics past and present. From historic smallpox outbreaks to 1918’s Spanish influenza to the modern-day coronavirus, Swedlund – whose primary areas of expertise include the history of health and disease, epidemiology, demography, and the interrelation of culture and human health – will discuss the origins of these three pandemics, and the profound effects they had (or are having) on America. He will also examine what the 1918 Avian Flu can tell us about COVID-19 today. The author or co-editor of eight books, Swedlund most recently co-edited Beyond Germs: Exploration of Indigenous Depopulation in North America.

This online event is free and open to the public. Please consider making a suggested donation to help us continue to offer remote programs like this one.
