Dr. Eisenberg recently co-authored this article in Jacobin magazine. It explores how disease history influences the depiction of disease and society in film, along with the disease genre's impact on society. jacobin.com/2024/03/pandem…

“Disease movies serve as a form of truth telling, influencing popular ideas about disease and creating new myths about how to address disease... Disease history offers examples of how stories can create new realities."

On Wednesday, Dr. Sarah Griswold and her co-fellows shared their proposals for their collaborative projects as part of the Center for the Humanities 2023-2024 Research Group Fellows presentations.

Focused on Non-violence and peace humanities, Dr. Griswold’s group presentation “No Justice, No Peace (in Oklahoma)” “emerged as the themes of war, violence, punishment, resistance, and campus activism slowly coalesced during the Fall 2023-Spring 2024 academic year.”
