2022 Conference of AHLiST

Lessons from the Pandemic

(AHLiST suggests each year overarching interdisciplinary topic, but this is not in the strict sense the exclusive scope of the conference since each discipline of AHLiST welcomes diverse subjects and themes.)

What have we (un)learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic? Perhaps (not) much? Regardless of where you are or were, being connected, even during physical isolation called lockdown, quarantine, or social distancing, has been crucial to survive and possibly overcome the pandemic. From our scholarly/personal (self)positioning, each of us has gone through the experience of producing, preserving or (un)learning new and/or conventional knowledge and information about the local, regional, and global communities. With such lessons (un)learned, how can we as educators re-engage in teaching and research in history, literature, science, technology, or other related disciplines?
