Kristin Heitman talks with Dora Vargha (Exeter) and Arthur Rose (Exeter) about the nature and power of narrative in forming both our expectations about epidemics and the ways that we decide when and how they have ended.

Dora Vargha and Arthur Rose on Epidemics, Expectations, and Ends

The University of Oxford’s ‘How Epidemics End' project examines the ways in which epidemics have ended across previous eras and locations.  Join researchers as they explain how they study epidemics and their endings.



The project 'How Epidemics End' is based at Oxford's Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology and Oxford's Centre for Global History and is led by Dr Erica Charters.  It is supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant number 204826/Z/16/Z] and by the University of Oxford's OUP John Fell Research Fund.
