The present crisis often is described as and feels unprecedented. What can historical thinking, with its focus on precedents, contribute to our coming to terms with the COVID-19 pandemic? Jacqueline Antonovich and Powel Kazanjian will explore this and other questions about the place of history in the present moment in a one hour conversation, moderated by Helmut Puff. This remote event is presented in webinar format via Zoom and will be recorded for internal purpose only.
