A Disciplinary Perspective on the post-Covid university. What can History offer?

<p>While still in the midst of pandemic, we are increasingly vexed by the possible shape, form and quality of life that will emerge as the so-called 'new normal'.

We are knowingly sailing in uncharted waters. At this anxious time of uncertainty, we find some comfort in the historically positioned description of the pandemic as '<b><u>unprecedented</u></b>'.
