- In this interview Hunter Hargraves, Brown University class of 2015, discusses his experience of living through the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles, California. Hargreaves begins by discussing where he was when he first heard about the COVID-19 virus and talks about how it affected his teaching at California State University Fullerton (CSUF). He explains the effects the stay at home order had on his students and himself. He describes how social distancing changed the way people gathered outside and in nature in the Los Angeles area. He speaks to how the pandemic changed people’s media consumption and how shows, movies, and streaming services were helping to create cultural connections despite social distancing. He addresses the news media culture and how he sees overlap between media scandals and the melodrama of reality television shows. Hargreaves also discusses how social distancing affected perspectives on intimacy and sex. He describes what about the pandemic has been most difficult for him and how he hopes future generations will look back on the pandemic.
