COVID-19 presents an unparalleled opportunity for instructors to
practice the integrated and holistic education that is at the heart of
Baylor’s liberal arts tradition. Not only is the study of pandemic
“relevant” for our students, but it is a window into the deepest
concerns at the intersection of the natural world and human
meaning-making. No academic discipline escapes its reach. In this SET,
distinguished Baylor colleagues will discuss approaches and perspectives
on exploring pandemic with students through the materials of
philosophy, literature, history, religion, biology, and more.
