Students of Pandemic: Recent Episodes
Project MicDrop
The Covid-19 Pandemic was declared in March 2020, and it has taken our lives by storm ever since. The impact on students particularly has been profound- in terms of our social lives, emotional, mental and physical well-being, academics and so many more facets. Students of Pandemic seeks to address this whirlwind of change, to make sense of a world that is far too different from what we had seen earlier.
We'll be holding podcasts with students across schools and universities, to talk about their experiences during the pandemic. We hope this initiates an urgent, powerful dialogue.
