“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different” 

- Arundhati Roy, ‘The pandemic is a portal’

In a series live-streamed sit-ins during the Covid-19 pandemic, we invite a number of researchers to present one idea related to the our series theme “Disasters, Disaster Capitalism, and Beyond” in 20 minutes. After the presentation, we invite the virtual audience for questions and discussion through chat or audio.

On June 04, Catharina von Koskull will present some of the central findings from an ethnographic field study and subsequent ethnodrama project she did before the pandemic, and hope to discuss with the audience about the possible implications of these findings considering today’s situation. 
The focus of her talk will be on everyday life in elderly care from elderly consumers’ point of view.

Remember to put a beer in the fridge and join your colleagues for a semi-informal after-work @home!
