Rio Grande Valley in the Time of a Pandemic
Community Responses to COVID-19
The research for this report was conducted as a result of an interdisciplinary course of Anthropology and History at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley during the Fall semester of 2020. During the pandemic, we shifted from conducting this course through group projects and students instead produced individual primary source research. This occurred simultaneously as students and the rest of the populace sought to make sense of their experiences in the very changed framework of the COVID-19 world. The effort epitomizes the importance of recording history in real time, especially within a region that was as so negatively impacted by the c…

Über den Autor
Because UTRGV is mostly a commuter school where the student body are employed, the students in our Discovering the Rio Grande Valley course were tasked with using their place of employment as the setting for observing the effects of the pandemic in real-time. They interviewed supervisors and other employees, photographed new configurations of places of business and prepared their reports. From fast food restaurants to Roman Catholic churches, to funerals and high school sporting events, they captured from the perspective of college-aged students the very changed world of the RGV during the pandemic. An important aspect of this report is that each student also provided a brief biography telling future readers who they were in 2020 and how the pandemic changed their lives. Some noted that family members were sickened, and some died. In a small way this memorializes those who suffered and perished and perhaps will provide some degree of succor to those students for their loss.
