The College Hour Content for Sunday and Monday

1." Bring Out Your Dead!"

Enjoy a video presentation "Bring Out Your Dead!" by Mark Eberle, Ph.D. COCC Professor of Biological Sciences.
Dr. Eberle, dressed in period costume, will describe the historical and medical aspects of a dreaded disease, plague, with works of art that he photographed in Europe and with clips taken from popular movies. The presentation includes a surprising amount of humor for such a grim topic and sheds light on unexpected connections between plague and the modern world.
This Presentation is part of the Social Science Lecture Series "Bring Out Your Dead!" Exploring Our Fascination with Dead, Undead and Things In-Between.
