As nation-wide lockdowns began to spread across the world in later winter 2020, critical reflection became all the more important to bring perspective to a situation that for the vast majority of there world was not something part of our living memory or personal experiences.
I had a great opportunity, as Academic Advisor in a Global Health program, to share my perspectives as a visual scholar and cultural historian on everyday people's reactions to past pandemics and global disease outbreaks. As a scholar of the moral and practical dimensions of humanitarian action, and of visual communication for humanitarianism, international development and global health, my interests gravitated towards issues of inequities and injustices, responsibility and resilience, and importantly, the role of visuals in augmenting or distracting from the voices of those most impacted by illness and disease.
