COVID-19 in Walla Walla 2020: Community, Place, and Organization (Sociology 293) was taught online in the fall semester of 2020 by Whitman College Professor of Sociology Michelle Janning. Students learned about the Walla Walla Valley using a sociological perspective, offering a glimpse into the many issues that strengthen, challenge, and complicate the work of, and connections among, local community organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. This collection contains interviews that were conducted before the course began in August, 2020, with residents who engage with local organizational work in areas such as education, health, tourism and business, faith communities, housing, food security, environmental sustainability, immigration, arts, criminal justice, and early learning.
