Dr. Laurieann Klockow is a virologist who teaches in Biomedical Sciences, including a new class focused on understanding Covid-19.
Dr. Lezlie Knox is a medieval historian who teaches a course on the Black Death and other historical pandemics.
Dr. Brittany Pladek is a scholar of Romantic literature and its intersections with nineteenth-century medical practice.
