Full Description:: In the era of COVID-19, it has never been more important for society to examine itself – research from the humanities holds answers for the pandemic.
The University of Queensland (UQ) is bringing together leaders in humanities research to offer a dynamic online forum which will provide important insights into the COVID-19 crisis.

Led by Associate Professor Jane Johnston and Associate Professor Kelly Fielding from the UQ School of Communication and Arts, this forum will seek to provide answers to the following:

How are communication, media, writing, language, cultural and social institutions, and other areas of the arts being effected by the crisis?
How are the humanities contributing to our understanding of the pandemic?
How might they help society as it transitions forward?
Virtual guests will have the opportunity to engage directly with world-class humanities researchers in scheduled Q&As.
