Ford Hall Forum: Laura Spinney On How The 1918 Spanish Flu Changed The World
Laura Spinney, internationally acclaimed science journalist and author, will discuss her latest non-fiction title, “Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How it Changed the World.”
In the book, Spinney examines the enduring effects of the pandemic flu, which killed over 50 million people worldwide, and society’s response: how it altered global politics, race relations, family structures, and thinking across medicine, religion, and the arts. Spinney will discuss the parallels or lack thereof between the Spanish Flu and COVID-19, what we can learn from history, how pandemics begin and how they end, and our tendency to forget pandemics.
The moderator is Udodiri R. Okwandu, Presidential Scholar, Harvard University.
