Hello #PandemicMethodologies followers
Erika (@erikadyckhist) and I would like to share an ongoing project we created with Craig Harkema and Tim Harkema to try and preserve some of the more ephemeral experiences of living through #COVID19 in Saskatchewan.

We've both studied and taught the history of medicine and we wanted to address some of the gaps in traditional archival records. We know the archives will preserve institutional records and the media will provide an amazing source, but they are not focused on everyday experiences

The significant impact of the #Covid19 pandemic on academic research & publishing has been well documented. Watchorn and Smith found that 5 factors impacted the ability of researchers in the arts and humanities to publish their work. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2020/12/22/gue… #PandemicMethodologies
This survey does a good job to show the devastation that a lack of archival and library access can have to humanities research “55% of these scholars cannot get access to the essential libraries, archives, collections, and museums they need to continue.” #PandemicMethodologies
Hi All!
Thankyou to @PMTC2021 for organizing this #PandemicMethodologies conference. I look forward to engaging more this weekend!

Today my tweet contribution to the #PandemicMethodologies is called:
"‘We’re time travellers, people!’: The ghosts of wonder, administration, and audience in working with digital sources"
"‘We’re time travellers, people!’: The ghosts of wonder, administration, and audience in working with digital sources"
I am going to tweet about three topics related to thoughts on 'time travelling' and history:
1. The wonder and access re online sources
2. The work involved with digitizing
3. The audiences (we imagine) for presenting this work

Thrilled to participate in today’s @PMTC2021 conference and talk about meeting students where they are at (figuratively and literally). My research ranges from #bioarchaeology to #MedHist (bones to books) and I love bringing theatre to the classroom! #PandemicMethodologies
My greatest insecurity preparing for teaching in Fall 2020 was how to create a sense of community in the classroom for a course that had never before been delivered online. Summer 2020 reading: #MOOCs! #CourseDesign! #Tech! #UniversalDesign! #Stress! #PandemicMethodologies
Reimagining “Intro to Anthro of Health” required boldness. I looked to @DanielPaulOD’s unessay (tinyurl.com/4b2uezvv): to throw out the rules of essay writing and welcome speculative work. This semester was the right one to take a risk. #PandemicMethodologies
Stop us if you have heard this one: In 2019 2 medical historians and a biochemist decided to teach a course together.

But the joke was on us. We taught a course on the science and history of infectious diseases in the midst of a global pandemic.

Comedy aside, it was a challenging and exhilarating experience. We plan to do it again, preferably when the pandemic is a historical memory not a scientific crisis.

Just before the provincial wide shut-down of universities in March 2020, I received some devastating news. My knee injury would require reconstructive surgery, and I would be unable to walk for months. #PandemicMethodologies #CdnHist @CndHistAssoc
When everything shut down, I was, selfishly, relieved. I was able to continue with working as a teaching assistant (later a teaching fellow). My injury forced me to move home to my parents’ house in a different city. #PandemicMethodologies #CdnHist @CndHistAssoc

@Daniel14382460 @PMTC2021 We are part of academia’s COVID generation - ours is a cohort of scholars whose graduate studies coincided with the global pandemic. COVID has produced many personal & professional challenges and changed how we do history: we have had to do more with less. #PandemicMethodologies
@Daniel14382460 @PMTC2021 Archives, the fetishized foundation of historical practice, have been made even more inaccessible than usual by the closures of institutions and borders. How/can historians work in this context? & What lessons emerge from our adaptive strategies? #PandemicMethodologies
"Using Collaborative Research and Open-Source Methods to Promote Feminist Pedagogy During a Pandemic,” A Twitter Essay by @thonihoward w/ @NCITU of @Tulane and a co-curator of @FemTeachOnline and part of the #PandemicMethodologies conference sponsored by @CndHistAssoc (#CdnHist).
@NCITU @Tulane @FemTeachOnline @CndHistAssoc The collaborative project “Feminist Pedagogy for Teaching Online” (@FemTeachOnline) assists educators in applying feminist praxis to the online modality (as well as traditional/hybrid) and is especially relevant for Historians. #PandemicMethodologies #CdnHist @CndHistAssoc @NCITU
@NCITU @Tulane @FemTeachOnline @CndHistAssoc The @FemTeachOnline Guide, curated by @claremdaniel, @eromerohall, @niyamirandabond, @thonihoward, and Liv Newman, includes literature, assignment examples, and teaching tools relating to feminist pedagogy in online courses. #PandemicMethodologies #CdnHist @CndHistAssoc @NCITU
So happy to be involved in the #PandemicMethodologies conference, sharing some reflections on how sixteen months of working from home have impacted graduate student communities and our research processes #CdnHist @CndHistAssoc
We write our dissertations alone, but it takes a community to think through historical questions. How have isolation and WFH changed our graduate student experience and our research? Why are online forums inadequate replacements for in-person communities? #PandemicMethodologies
Before COVID, I worked in a group office, socialized with other students, and connected with archivists as I researched. It was easy to run questions by my peers, check material in archives, or meet scholars at events. The pandemic has changed grad school #PandemicMethodologies

I've struggled with depression for 6 years. Trying to complete my M.A. during a pandemic has been exceeding difficult. Campus? Closed. Libraries? Closed. Archives? Closed. I’ve had to re-learn how to learn in isolation.

In 2019, I worked as a stripper for 4 months, while attending full-time M.A. classes and working PT. I lost both jobs in March 2020. I didn’t have classes again until Jan 2021. It felt like the rug was ripped out. Pandemic dragged, my depression got worse.

Completing my MA at @usaskhist was a very fulfilling time of my life. A gracious, thoughtful & engaged cohort supported me while I pursued my research. Discussions about our fields & the work we wanted our scholarship to do kept me excited & motivated.

My colleagues helped me navigate grad school (as a woman, too). They became my closest friends. They accepted, understood, & validated my choices when many outside of grad school could not. I grew as a person & a scholar, and to them I am forever grateful.

Approx. 1000+ unknown, unmarked graves at Indian Residential School sites announced this week in Canada, #cowessness #kamloops. There will be many, many more. Indigenous Elders, Nations, and communities have been pointing towards these for decades. #pandemicmethodologies
Have historical perspectives ‘mattered’ to policy-making? Yes and no. On the ‘no’ side, senior policy makers may talk to historians, but don’t necessarily think they should heed us if we are saying something outside of the main narrative. #PandemicMethodologies.
On the ‘yes’ side, we get invited to more meetings. There are lots of interviews and media work. Sometimes important people tell me historical work is so important. But influence feels pretty indirect. Maybe history is running in the background? #PandemicMethodologies #PanHist
#PandemicMethodologies All the things we do to reach out matter. Public talks have always been sustaining for me. There’s give and take. I listen to pandemic stories people tell me. And share my favourite #PanHist work like @kelmme and Brenda Child.
Incredibly excited and honored to kick off the #PandemicMethodologies conference with some reflections on my public history work during the past year in my talk “Pandemic Public(s): At the Intersection of Public Health and Public History” This two-day conference lineup is 🔥
I have been teaching the history public health for over a decade, telling students that we’ll see the next big pandemic in our lifetime- and to expect the historical continuities of infectious disease; fear, scapegoating, science denialism, and innovation #PandemicMethodologies
But I was the one who wasn’t prepared. Within weeks I was constantly fielding questions from reporters, giving weekly public lectures, and writing op-eds. I was even asked to be on my uni’s @cofc COVID-Task Force. Folks wanted insight into past pandemics.
