Join University of San Diego Professor Brittany Asaro for a stimulating discussion of "The Decameron" written in 1348 by Giovanni Boccaccio and set in Florence, Italy during the Black Death (1346-1353) which killed 75 to 200 million in Europe and Asia. In the book, ten young Florentines retreat into self-isolation for two weeks in the countryside and pass the time by telling stories, resulting in 100 stories. Many of the stories are amusing. Some are sad. None are about the plague. What does a 700-year-old book set during the deadliest pandemic recorded in human history have to say about the Covid-19 pandemic and the social upheavals it has brought about? Why does "The Decameron" resonate so powerfully during our own current moment in time? Click HERE to also attend the Book Launch of the San Diego Decameron Project Anthology on March 21.

It was the largest mass casualty event for personnel based at Pendleton during the entire Afghan war. Plus, it’s the first day of class for San Diego Unified students and the district says it has implemented a host of COVID-19 policies and guidelines. Also, as kids zip up their backpacks and get their pencils sharpened, how can parents best support them during this time? A child psychologist weighs in. In addition, San Diego officials are taking more steps to address chronic homelessness with plans underway to open harm-reduction model shelters — something that hasn’t been done here yet. And, Oceanside’s beachfront has been undergoing renovations. Now attention is shifting to the city’s 102-year old amphitheatre and a nearby community center named for the late Junior Seau. His family has started a petition to keep the facilities intact. Finally, the first Afro-Con or Afrofuturism Convention will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA.
