Amazing Professors. Fascinating Lectures. A Truly Unique Learning Experience.
COVID-19: A Liberal Arts Approach to the Study of a Global Pandemic was created in the spring of 2020 as a special one-credit course for Whitman College’s newly admitted students, offering them an opportunity to get to know our distinguished faculty and to study a significant event in human history.
We would now like to offer these lectures to the public — for any student, parent or community member who is interested in an in-depth look at the current pandemic. For educators who are interested in using these lectures as part of a formal or informal curriculum, we are providing the original course syllabus so you can see the context in which these were originally offered.
Developed by experts from disciplines across the college, this lecture series explores many different facets of COVID-19 — helping us make sense of a global crisis of such magnitude.
