Students in the Public History: Presenting and Interpreting the Past classes created journals using varied formats to express experiences from the pandemic. Specifically, each student contributed a digital journal titled Capturing Quarantine: Student Pandemic Experience. Students documented how the global pandemic has affected their lives.
These prompts were posed by Erin McCarthy, PhD, Associate Professor of History in the Humanities, History, and Social Sciences Department, who taught the class.
