My coworker found this random website called Drive & Listen: https://driveandlisten.herokuapp.com/

It's a video stream of cars driving through different cities around the world with local radio stations playing in the background. You can turn on street noise for more authenticity.

Outbreaks, Carriers, and Patient Zero: How Language Shapes our Understanding of Pandemic

Lisa Keränen, PhD

Monday July 13, 3:30pm - 4:45pm

The way we talk about pandemic matters. This session explores how people have talked about outbreaks in history and explores the connections between language and thinking. We will analyze outbreak narratives across official, entertainment, and technical contexts.

Lisa Keränen is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Denver. Her teaching and research concern the rhetorics of health and medicine, biosecurity, and bioethics. Her current book project is called Viral Apocalypse: Biosecurity, Risk, and Resilience from Anthrax to Covid. She is a past president of the Association for the Rhetoric of Science, Technology, and Medicine.
