BLST 039. Black Health Futures and the Pandemic Present: From Yellow Fever to HIV/AIDS

Black Studies has something vital to contribute to the study of how pandemics and epidemics are thought and intervened in. By considering literature, visual art, history, political science, and sociology focused on health, medicine, the body, and disease, from the Yellow Fever epidemic to the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis, we will gain a fuller understanding of how black cultures have lived through and resisted pandemics, epidemics, and medical brutality.
