Course Description

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Vanderbilt is excited to offer this online course in partnership with the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities! Join us and get a first-hand look at what online learning is all about and prepare to be surprised by how engaging and interactive it can be. Join Professor Holly Tucker for this online course on the history of pandemics, as seen from contemporary first-hand accounts (essays, letters, personal journals, legal documents) and artistic works (literature, art, music). In this class, we will make connections between the experiences in the past to understand in deeper ways our own experiences in the COVID-19 era. As part of our work together, we will create our own first-hand accounts and artistic works to document what life looks like now, during our own moment of pandemic. We will be hosting an information session with Professor Tucker as well as Zoom tutorials. In order to serve our OLLI members, there will be staff from OLLI and RPW available to answer any of your technological questions before and during the 6-week course.
