In this video conference Dean Allbritton and Jon Snyder discuss the importance of cultural narratives of disease, contagion, and outbreak in the context of HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19.
Dean Allbritton is Associate Professor of Spanish at Colby College. His research analyzes metaphors of illness and gender in contemporary Spanish culture and media as focalizing points for larger discourses of national and societal health. He is currently working on a manuscript on the cultural histories of HIV/AIDS in Spain, titled Feeling Sick: The Early Years of AIDS in Spain. Thank you, Dean for your generosity!
