How Epidemic End

How do societies know when an epidemic is over and normal life can resume? What are the criteria and markers of an epidemic’s end, and who has the insight, authority, and credibility to decipher these signs?

Join Dr. Erica Charters, professor of the global history of medicine at the University of Oxford for an insightful conversation on how war, disease, and state formation intersect. Erica Charters lead a multidisciplinary project about how epidemics end.

This event is presented by the Robin Connor Lectureship in the History and Philosophy of Science.
