Vaccine
VACCINE/HNRC 300VH (009)
MAY 10-21, 2021
This forum zooms in on the race to develop a vaccine for the COVID-19 Coronavirus
through a diversity of academic and professional disciplines: medicine, medical history,
sociology, statistics, social media studies, public health, immunology, political
science, industrial engineering, supply chain management, and chemical engineering.
In so doing, the forum’s instructors situate the COVID-19 vaccine within a broader
narrative of the science of immunization, the history of vaccines, the social and
economic inequalities produced by deploying a vaccine, and the challenges presented
to the global supply chain.
