Virtual Thursday Forum: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<p dir="ltr">A century ago, the world faced a global health crisis that in many ways parallels the present-day challenges we face during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thursday Forum offers historical perspective and insights on the current public health crisis by providing an overview of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, which erupted amidst the already-significant suffering and destruction of World War I. This two-session forum will begin with an overview of the origins, diffusion, mitigation, and impacts of the 1918 influenza outbreak. We will look into how the disease developed and spread, examining the pandemic from a global perspective. The presentation will consider the medical understanding of the disease and attempts to counter it, as well as the social and cultural factors that determined its evolution and treatment. The second forum will examine how the outbreak played out in Cedar Rapids, comparing and contrasting the experience of students at Coe and townspeople in the area. Through use of historical archival and newspaper sources, we will recreate the situation in eastern Iowa and evaluate the impact that the war, gender, and class had on healthcare and survival. This examination will be tied together with a look into the life and legend of Helen Roberts, the only Coe student to die in the epidemic and who is now alleged to haunt Voorhees Hall.</p><p>The virtual event will be found at <a href="https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/">https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/</a></p> 2020-10-22 23:58:00 -050010/22/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

Treasuring our Trees: Cedar Rapids & Surrounding Areas Following the Derecho
<p>“When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locusts, equally the beech, the oaks and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness. I would almost say that they save me, and daily” (Mary Oliver, “When I Am Among the Trees”). Since Aug. 10, the greater Cedar Rapids community lost a significant portion of its mature tree population to the derecho. While we are in the midst of an ongoing clean-up, this is an opportunity to come together as a community to acknowledge the profound loss of our beloved trees, bless the land, and initiate the long and necessary process toward communal healing through shared story, ritual, song and poetry. This first online autumnal gathering on Oct. 25 will be followed by two other seasonal gatherings, one in the winter—a time for stillness and dormancy—and one in spring—a time for planting and new life (dates to be announced). Please plan to join us by Zoom from the location of your favorite tree, or if you prefer, you can email lweber@prairiewoods.org a before- or after-derecho photo of your favorite tree to include in our opening tribute. This program is a community effort by Prairiewoods, Indian Creek Nature Center, Trees Forever, Winding Pathways, Cornell College Spiritual Life, Peoples Church and other community partners. To join the celebration of trees via Zoom, please use meeting ID 829 4883 0080 and password 056503. This program is free, and registration is not required. For more information, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-09-24 13:00:00 -0500
