University of Oklahoma Professor of Classics and Letters, Kyle Harper’s latest research offers a panoramic look at the history of pandemics. It weaves together a grand narrative of global history with insights from cutting-edge geneticists to show that the story of disease is entangled with the history of slavery, colonialism and capitalism. Don’t miss this enlightening conversation with Harper, as he presents his latest book, Plagues Upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History. As we continue to live with the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the book tells the story of how we got here as a species and where we can hope to go.
