- Description 詳情
The lockdown of Wuhan in 2020 was the first of its kind in the COVID-19 global pandemic. Keenly aware of the unprecedented nature of this event, many residents in Wuhan took it upon themselves to document its history by recording their personal experiences and sharing them on social media. These acts of citizenship inspired the writing of The Wuhan Lockdown, a book that recounts the extraordinary stories of ordinary people in the first moments of the COVID pandemic. In this conversation, two sociologists discuss the themes of the book and its narrative strategies and explore the meanings of the history and memories of a global crisis that would define the age. The speaker, Guobin Yang, is the Grace Lee Boggs Professor of Communication and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of its Center on Digital Culture and Society. Wei Zhang is Professor and the Chair of UHM’s Department of Sociology.
This talk is co-sponsored with the UHM Department of Sociology.
