00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:15,440
called contextualizing covid19

7
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:16,400
plight pandemic and policy this course

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,480
is a little bit unique

9
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,760
15 different professors from the history

10
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,560
faculty are going to lecture in this

11
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,840
course

12
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,680
so it's something we wouldn't normally

13
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,199
be able to do but these professors can

14
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,599
join us for an hour of their time

15
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:28,480
from their home or office or wherever

16
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:31,439
they're working

17
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,040
and lecture on the idea of pandemic in

18
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:34,559
their own specific time periods the ones

19
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,079
that they specialize in the students are

20
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:38,079
going to get exposed in their first year

21
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:40,160
of university second year of university

22
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,840
to an almost an entire department of

23
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:44,000
faculty members students this year are

24
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,680
going to have the ability to put

25
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,440
themselves into the classroom in a way

26
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,440
that they might not beforehand

27
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,480
we're using a canadian-built project

28
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,120
called the canadian

29
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,960
writing research collaboratory or quirk

30
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,320
a project which is actually led by dr

31
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,239
susan brown at guelph

32
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,359
and we are having the students learn

33
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:01,440
about archiving

34
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,120
and metadata and what it means to build

35
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,479
something for historians of the future

36
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,920
for this class we're going to be meeting

37
00:01:04,479 --> 00:01:06,960
uh three times a week on monday

38
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,240
wednesday and friday

39
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,680
monday and wednesday will be those

40
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,799
lectures that see different faculty

41
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,799
members come in and kind of

42
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,640
contextualize pandemics and the policy

43
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,799
that came out of them in that time

44
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,560
and then fridays we will reflect on

45
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,200
those together as a class or maybe in

46
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520
groups

47
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,479
and really think through how we can fill

48
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,320
in what's missing

49
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:26,000
in the historical perspective what these

50
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,520
students are living through is

51
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,799
going to be part of the world's history

52
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,119
and what they're going to learn as

53
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,439
historians is to become storytellers

54
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:34,880
they're going to learn to teach a new

55
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,240
generation the next generation about

56
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,159
what they lived through

57
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,320
and also the importance of collecting

58
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,119
pieces of those history to build into an

59
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,479
archive

60
00:01:41,119 --> 00:01:44,479
they're going to be able to put this on

61
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:44,880
the web and have something to point back

62
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:47,040
to

63
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,479
and you know to their parents to their

64
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,799
family members and say hey look

65
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:51,600
this is how i understood this and be

66
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:53,040
able to say

67
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,040
years down the road that this was their

68
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,960
first kind of breach into history their

69
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,880
first time they got to write

70
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:08,959
and really place themselves as

71
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:11,039
storytellers for the future

72
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:11,039
you
