What Chicago’s Historic Bronzeville is Teaching us about Pandemics
Manage episode 337491411 series 3381951
Dr. Jane Peterson and Noel Hincha discuss their archeological efforts to recreate life in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. As a result of the Great Migration, the area became home to many Black Americans in the early twentieth century. COVID-19 interrupted their fieldwork but prompted them to pursue new methods and pay more attention to racial health disparities, especially in the context of the Influenza Pandemic of 1918–1919.
Dr. Jane Peterson - Professor of Anthropology in Marquette's Department of Social and Cultural Sciences.
Noel Hincha - A Spring 2020 Marquette University graduate with degrees in French & Anthropology working as a Field Technician for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Cultural Resource Management Program and the Commonwealth Heritage Group.
