CANCELLED Open Conversation: Remembering the Covid-19 Pandemic

Join this online Circle U. lecture and explore what we will ultimately remember about the Covid-19 pandemic. For many, this global crisis represented a true "anthropological rupture" – a profound moment of personal and collective change that has left deep societal scars.

THE EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

In this compelling lecture, acclaimed social anthropologist Laëtitia Atlani-Duault will explore our collective memory of the crisis in France. Drawing from her book Covid-19 Ad memoriam: What we remember and what remains, Atlani-Duault – who served on France’s Covid-19 Scientific Council – will explore deeply personal testimonies of life during the pandemic from across France.

Join us to explore how the act of remembering serves as a symbolic "counter-gift" – a vital way to express gratitude and recognise the immense efforts of everyone who helped hold our society together during unprecedented times.
