Listen Later

This week, Rosemary Giles and Laura Munoz-Baena sit down with Hanna Barnett, a PhD candidate in Hispanic Studies. Hanna and our hosts discuss her current research on the Influenza of 1918, the way that media represented the 1918 Influenza in Canadian newspapers, and how the Canadian media perpetuated the “Spanish” association with the disease. They discuss what it’s like researching historic pandemics during a pandemic, and how this has affected Hanna’s research.

To keep up to date on what Hanna is doing, check her out on Linkedin: @Hanna Barnett.

Recorded on January 18, 2022.

Produced by Laura Muñoz Baena.
