Event Details

Description

One of the most evident manifestations of the present pandemic has been the blaming of traditional (and non-traditional) out-groups for causing or spreading the COVID-19 virus. Chinese people, Muslims, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, American White Nationalists, and the BAME in the UK have all been blamed. Central to Xun Zhou’s new co-authored book, ‘I Know Who Caused COVID-19’: Pandemics and Xenophobia, is the question of what happens when such groups are blamed for public health crises. In this talk, Zhou will address both the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the present Delta variant surge in light of the xenophobia + pandemics model. Part of the Mondays at the Museum Spring 2022 Lecture Series, “Jews, Plagues, and Pandemics.”
