?:abstract
  • Purpose: This article examines the impact of the 1919 influenza pandemic on the life and culture of Australian universities, and the curious absence of sustained discussion about the crisis in university magazines It considers two contexts, from the perspective of the general university population, and from the particular focus of medical students Design/methodology/approach: The primary source for this analysis is based on detailed reading of university magazines across three universities, as well as other primary and secondary literature The article was written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited access to some other magazines held in library collections, but the corpus of material is more than sufficient Findings: This article shows that the pandemic further deferred the resumption of university life after a hiatus during the First World War The failure to identify the causal agent limited technical discussion in medical school magazines Originality/value: This is one of the first dedicated studies of the effect of the 1919 influenza pandemic on Australian universities It joins a growing body of work considering the effect of the influenza on different community groups © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited
