X-WR-CALDESC:Epidemic Disease in Tibet: 
From Fear to Care\n\nIn the early 
 months of 2020\, a novel coronavirus spread across the globe\, causing sch
 ools and businesses to shut their doors and utterly transforming countless
  lives. As the numbers of confirmed cases and reported deaths continue to 
 grow\, we face questions about why this disaster is happening and what we 
 can do to limit its spread. In the words of Arthur Kleinman\, “The problem
  of illness as suffering raises two fundamental questions for the sick per
 son and the social group: Why me? (the question of bafflement)\, and What 
 can be done? (the question of order and control)” (1988\, 29). In this pre
 sentation\, William McGrath will address these questions within the contex
 t of COVID-19 and other epidemic diseases that once spread in Tibetan hist
 ory. By comparing contemporary responses to epidemic diseases with those o
 f the past\, Dr. McGrath will demonstrate the importance of religious narr
 atives and ethics in the human encounter with contagious disease.
