Welcome to Spring 2022!
Readings
• Joanne Randa Nucho, “Pandemics in the post-grid imaginary,” The Immanent Frame blog, published by the Social Science Research Council (ssrc.org) June 4, 2020. [Also here as a PDF if that’s easier.]
This piece offers a timely introduction to many themes of our course, addressing them in the context of our present pandemic crisis, while focusing geographically on Lebanon. I look forward to discussing it with you on Thursday, January 27.
Class artifacts
Tuesday, January 25: Welcome and introductions. Slide presentation, Zoom recording, transcript with timestamps, chat log.(Throughout the semester, whenever I post a Zoom recording I will also share the corresponding transcript which is searchable and includes timestamps. I hope this may be helpful in case you want to search through the transcript for a topic (⌘-F on Mac, CONTROL-F on Windows), identify the timestamp, and then jump to that location of the Zoom recording to watch the discussion.)
