The Coronacast was an online video interview series completed between March and June 2020. This series was an attempt to connect with thoughtful, courageous people who were finding their own paths through an unprecedented time. I needed help in making meaning of the pandemic experience. These 26 conversations kept me connected at times when I felt very alone, challenged me to think about things that were not visible or comfortable to me, and made me cry with grief and gratitude. When I look back across these short interviews, I’m struck by how each one reflects an individual perspective at a particular moment and also fits into a bigger picture of human experience. To each and every person who made space to talk with me, to be tender, to share a personal story or glimpse into their life’s work, thank you. It is my belief that we are strongest when we are vulnerable. You have led the way for me in doing so. Talking with and listening to other people is a good place to start, in any situation. Parker Palmer talks about our responsibility to “hear people into deeper speech” — which seems like a worthy goal. Right now, there are urgent conversations our community needs to have about race, oppression, history, access, priorities, and opportunity. We have to talk about these things so that we can work together for equity and justice. We are lucky to have many strong voices leading those discussions, and I’m committed to supporting them.

Jessica David Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? “We’re looking at $48.5 million in direct spending losses for the state of Rhode Island,” said Kristen Adamo on the impact of the coronavirus on tourism. “The hit that our industry has taken has just been massive. We were the first to be hit and I think we’re going to be one of the last to recover.” Tourism is a major economic driver in Rhode Island; we hosted 25.4 million visitors in 2018, and the industry supported 86,000 jobs. (Not surprising, given our beautiful coastline, charming communities, amazing food, remarkable history, and vibrant cultural scene.) So, yes, this hit is significant, deep, and widespread. Kristen is president and CEO of the Providence Warwick Convention and Visitors Bureau, which grows and supports the meetings, events, sports, hospitality, and tourism sectors of our economy. She was forced to lay off 15 of her own employees, and it’s the lost jobs that drive her. “It lights the fire in your belly,” she notes. “Everything you do, you think, am I saving a job?.” So what can we do to support our neighbors who work in the tourism industry? “Advocate for us by getting out there,” Kristen responds. Patronize local restaurants (dining in or taking out!), plan a staycation at a local hotel, and recommend Rhode Island for conventions and events. You heard her, Rhode Island. https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/7e84bab2837f680df3ce450c793f60ca.mp4 7632ec4d576a2ef17355843219597bd1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jessica David Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? “In public policy there is this notion of the policy window, and things that are in the policy window are things that are in the realm of possibility,” Ross Cheit said. “And I think that what’s happened in the last few months is the policy window has changed. I think it’s gotten a lot bigger. I think that there are now things that are possible and are happening that three months ago we might have said were impossible. So the window’s open.” Yes, I thought. Yes! That explains the vague but persistent sense of opportunity that this terrible pandemic has brought upon us. Ross Cheit is a professor of political science at Brown University. He wrestles with issues of ethics, criminal justice, and public policy. I know him from Twitter, where he offers sage and witty commentary. I was therefore totally unsurprised that, in a 10-minute conversation, Professor Cheit covered political science concepts I haven’t thought of since college, touched on the quirkiness of Rhode Island’s two degrees of separation, and clearly delighted in his students. The uncertainty is challenging and at times overwhelming, but Professor Cheit left me with a new perspective. “Some good things are happening with this policy window open,” he said. “So things are possible.” https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/67f617833cb3f92a363ca23f0d93cfe3.mp4 083a62026d478b79ee51a09242036915 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jessica David Language A language of the resource English Description What is it all about? “Place really connects me to history,” said Brent Runyon. “It helps me understand historical timelines and events in ways that learning dates and names never did. I feel like it’s a really powerful tool for connecting us to our past, the good and the bad parts of it.” Indeed. I find history intriguing because it helps me understand how people have influenced people, for years upon years, and how those people have created the places where we now live, which shape us. As executive director of the Providence Preservation Society and someone who came to the preservation field through engineering, Brent is a good person to talk to about such topics. “I have to say, the first month was kind of traumatizing,” Brent said, acknowledging the guilt and depression that went along with the early days of the pandemic for him. “It was really hard to get motivated and find a new way to work. What did work even mean anymore?” As Brent notes, this is a difficult time to plan, and it is also an excellent time to consider transformation — of the work we do and the ways we do it. https://ricovidarchive.org/files/original/e6bf2ec5ad12bc89ee846f3d9155728f.jpg 158ff90511bce6f7f35249fd013a6161 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Laurelmead’s mission is to support independence and enriched senior living. Until the beginning of this pandemic we currently find ourselves in, the Laurelmead Journal was published three times a year.

Text Write a memory, journal entry, essay, list, poem, or story below. You can attach a file below if you'd prefer. My experience in quarantine. I, myself, am sort of a reclusive person per say. I’m more of home body than anything, I enjoy the comforts of my bed, my covers, and my phone. The thought of staying at home for a long period of time but this time with an excuse sounded like a dream come true. But little did I know, it would be an absolute nightmare. The feeling of being trapped in one place over something you cannot control is something I have never thought I would be afraid of. The countless days wasted away during the summer time were complete torture and I have never wanted to leave my house more than then. The thought of going on a walk just to get some air had turned into something more life or death than anything. And I, as a teen, my life being nothing but friends, technology, and sleep, had changed basically forever. My father and I used to always go on drives with one another to relieve stress but now the car was only used for one time trips back and forth to different stores, hoping to find some toilet paper! And of course to buy food and different necessities. As the days progressed, different things in my life had new meaning. My phone before was nothing more than something to entertain me, but it had soon become my main source of maintaining relationships. My bed soon became the place I hated the most and my house became a cage with no key. My optimism soon diminished as COVID cases kept rising then falling then spiking once more. I never would’ve thought the one place I call home would be the most hated place to be. But I learned many things about myself. How I enjoy writing more than anything. And how preparing snacks late at night would be something I am quite good at. Despite our society’s current climate, this quarantine has equally been a blessing and a curse.
