How has the COVID-19 pandemic imprinted itself in our lives? How might a trove of first-person reflections on the changing texture of pandemic life – created with the ordinary tools of 21st century digital life – both enrich and challenge our understanding of ourselves and our society? To answer these questions, speaker Sarah Willen (University of Connecticut) and her colleagues launched The Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP) in May 2020 as a combined journaling platform and research study created in 2020. Join us to learn about the project’s key findings, its value as a window on the mental health impact of COVID-19, and how “archival activism” can shape future understandings of our current time period.
