The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Global Health and Medicine at Middlebury College presents “Journaling the Pandemic: What 25,000+ Journal Entries Can Tell Us about the COVID-19 Pandemic – and Ourselves.”

In this discussion, medical anthropologists Sarah Willen (University of Connecticut) and Katherine Mason (Brown University) will introduce the Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP), a combined journaling platform and research study they co-created in 2020 as a space where ordinary people around the world could create a weekly chronicle of their pandemic experiences using words, audio, or images. Not only does PJP provide a powerful window onto the varied impact of COVID around the globe, but its logic of “archival activism” and method of “grassroots collaborative ethnography” show how innovative, public-facing research methods can shape future understandings of a contemporary global health crisis.
