What I Aim To Do

Throughout this whole semester, what has drawn me most is people. Humans are social creatures, and Covid19 has gotten in the way of that in an unprecedented way. Plague times are lonely times. But we have something now that our ancestors did not, the ability to connect virtually.

What has connection looked like for people during this time? I want to conduct several interviews with people from a variety of demographics including age, race, social class, etc. I want to discuss community, and what that has looked like for them in this current situation. There will be some set questions I plan to ask but I am also open to wherever the speaker may wish to lead. 

My set questions will be as follows:

What does community mean to you?

Where did you find community during quarantine?/Did you find it at all?

What did these moments look like?

Did you have different expectations on those moments than you would have pre-pandemic?

Will community look different for you after the pandemic is over?
