2023-06-07Lockdown Staten Island Documentary
CSI History Professor Susan Smith-Peter unveils the final video, Lockdown Staten Island, about this early part of the pandemic. Prof. Smith-Peter gathered artifacts from CSI faculty, staff, and students, as well as members of the Staten Island community, by submitting their photos and videos of their own experiences in order to create a documentary. Susan Smith-Peter is a Professor of History and Director of the Public History Advanced Certificate at CSI. The Public History project tells the story of COVID on Staten Island, which has already been featured at the Museum of the City of New York and in a book about teaching during the pandemic published by Harvard University Press. -
2020-07-27Empty Rockefeller Center
During the height of Covid, when New York City first went into lockdown, it was surreal to say the least. I think the last time the city was so empty and void of life was 9/11, so to see it again in 2020 really highlighted just how severe the situation was. Two of my sisters, who are a nurse and hospital manager, talked about being in the city for work, and practically being the only ones working in person, and it feeling like some kind of post apocalyptic movie. I remember around May of 2020, I helped my other sister move out of her dorms at #NYU, and it took about 15-20 mins to get to the bottom of Manhattan (Union Square) from The Bronx, due to the lack of fellow cars on the road. To see such a highly populated and lively city such as NYC turn into a ghost town almost overnight was something of a shock. It was one thing to see photos, and speak on how insane the situation was, but to actually be in the heart of Manhattan at this time was… well scary. So, seeing such a busy area such as Rockefeller center be completely empty is insane to say the least, and brings up a sad reminder of just how bad things were in the initial stages of the pandemic. -
