Collective Action In Isolation: Recent Episodes
Anderson Prater
Collective Action In Isolation is an exploration of the ways we as people can work together during this Coronavirus pandemic. Host Anderson Prater will explore the ways in which we as people are doing things collectively despite remaining socially distant.
In this episode, I dive into the power the narrative shift has to alterer our understandings and attitudes. I look at both Historical and modern narratives surrounding pandemics and use the influenza outbreak of 1918 as a frame of reference using these references I introduce some narrative shifts we can make ourselves to look at the current reality more optimistically. Finally, I talk about how we can change our ideas about social distancing from a hindrance to an act of fellowship, and patriotism. This episode was written and produced by Anderson Prater.

In this inaugural episode, I lay out the foundation for Collective Action In Isolation: we as people are working together even if we don't get to see each other. I analyze a few definitions of hope drawing on ideas from Elizabeth Andre's online lecture about hope and despair. Using these definitions to better understand hope we can make ourselves happier and more hopeful at home. Then I talk about how looking at helpfulness from a psychological perspective can help us understand how to help our communities during this pandemic.
