Our knowledge of what caused the first global pandemic, when it began, and how it spread has been revolutionized in the past decade. In this lecture, Carol Symes, Associate Professor of History, will look briefly at how people of the time understood and responded to it, and then introduce new evidence derived from collaborations among historians, archaeologists, epidemiologists, and others. “The Black Death: What We Know Now” is part of "Living through the Plague: Lessons from Medieval Europe," a new virtual lecture series organized by the EU Center. The lecture will be followed by Q&A.
This lecture will take place on Zoom:
