This class has played out during an unprecedented time amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic. Reflect on our course concepts and themes, and on the current world events we see ourselves in. Please choose three to four (3-4) concepts from the following list and discuss how each one can be related to the COVID-19 crisis. You can approach this either as reflecting on how the concept helps us understand COVID-19, or how COVID-19 helps illuminate the significance of the concept. Either way, be sure youve defined the concept in your own terms.
