Compiling a list of #Covid_19 readings for my Intro to Anthro students - they agreed that while they wanted to stick primarily to the topics outlined in the syllabus, they wanted some readings/discussion on the pandemic as well. Here are some that I& #39;m sharing (short thread):

Students will pick 2-3 articles to read and report back. I& #39;m feeling grateful to everyone who has the presence of mind to write thoughtful, anthropologically informed analyses of the current moment. Feel free to add recommendations!
