About

Telling COVID-19 Stories is a research and outreach project supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada that gathers and shares creative, personal, and scholarly responses to the COVID-19 pandemic—including diaries and memoir, fiction, poetry, film, documentary, comics, and academic articles. Together, these works form a public record of how this period has been lived, represented, and studied, creating a resource for research, teaching, and community engagement.
