Beskrivning
To think through history as it unfolds by engaging in “unbearable story-telling” is the task at hand in Curriculum Studies in the Age of Covid-19. The author documents stories of Covid-19 both from the perspective of a university professor and from the frontlines as a hospital chaplain, interweaving autobiography with philosophy, fiction, theology, history, and memory, in order to articulate what is beyond language and develop an archive. The archive is not only about the past but how future generations will understand the past. This book might be of interest to educationists, curriculum studies scholars, philosophers, theologians, literary scholars, historians, medical anthropologists, bioethicists, health humanities scholars, and hospital chaplains as well as palliative care physicians and psychoanalysts.

"Marla Morris has written a book that is a gift for all of us who live at the intersection of medicine, philosophy, literature, and being human. Drawing on an astonishing range of scholarship and an equally astonishing range of lived experience in the middle of the COVID pandemic, Dr. Morris manages to enliven the too-often abstract world of academic reflection on illness and death with clear-eyed witness to the agony at the heart of this crisis. In the evolution of her arguments about unbearable stories, she brings a sophisticated structure for interpretation of these stories in the often-chaotic realm of plague medicine. She does this with the wisdom of an experienced educator, the grace of an experienced chaplain, and the skilled eye of an experienced storyteller. I worked with her in the trenches of a hospital serving thirty-six southern rural counties during the worst of the COVID pandemic. I was grateful for her work as a chaplain in the rooms of our patients and I am ever-grateful to her as a philosopher who has given us a profound way of drilling down on complex lived experiences in this difficult season."—Raymond Barfield, MD, PhD, Palliative Care Physician, Memorial University Medical Center, Savannah, Georgia; Mercer Medical School, Savannah and Macon, Georgia
