    INFECTED HOUSES & SANITIZED SPACES: ARCHITECTURE, ADAPTIVE REUSE, & TOURISM OF THE EARLY 20th CENTURY TUBERCULAR ERA By Jenna D. Stout A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public History Department of History Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Doctoral Committee Dr. Carroll Van West, Chair Dr. Mary S. Hoffschwelle Dr. C. Brendan Martin Dr. Lisa J. Pruitt ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in tuberculosis architecture originated back in my home state of North Carolina where archival photographs of Asheville’s sanatoria inspired my investigation into the TB built environment. A public history internship at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial in Spring 2012 solidified my fascination with tuberculosis health tourism history and led me down the path to the MTSU Public History PhD Program. This dissertation would have been impossible without the support of a network of family, friends, and colleagues. Over the course of the past four years, Rachel Lewis and Kayla Pressley Seay have been a great source of friendship and cohort support. My doctoral committee members, Drs. Carroll Van West, Mary Hoffschwelle, Brendan Martin, and Lisa Pruitt, gave their time, guidance, and academic expertise to help bring this dissertation from an idea to a polished product. The MTSU Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) provided me with a built-in community of wonderful colleagues from my first days in Murfreesboro. Through the generous support of the CHP, I was able to spend my residency year researching sanatoria architecture and history at the Kentucky Heritage Council. Finally, I must thank three individuals particularly close to my heart.

  • Post-COVID Hand Hygiene Executive Summary
    Post-COVID Hand Hygiene Executive Summary Overview Post-COVID hand hygiene is necessary to better equip our communities against the unpredictable nature of the pandemic – a stabilizer for both the body and mind. The lessons and benefits we take away going forward will make navigating our “new normal” easier and help us to build a more resilient future. Highlights • The unpredictable nature of the pandemic, defined by changing vaccination needs and variables in human behavior, will require a stabilizing or grounding force especially in moments of high instability. A defense system of sanitization measures can help combat variables like breakthrough infections, variants of concern, misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, and “pandemic fatigue,” and ensure that any episodes of decline or recovery is as swift as it can be. • Prolonged hand hygiene protocols can help to integrate habitual tasks that are constant and consistent to offset the anxiety and mental fatigue that comes with adjusting to an everchanging pandemic and post-pandemic life. • Looking to the benefits of current public health measures can help us to exercise caution, and in turn, build a more resilient “new normal.” The decline in non-COVID illnesses like the flu and some respiratory illnesses, and initiatives to better address mental wellness in workspaces and communities alike, point to healthier bodies, healthier minds, and healthier environments conducive to how productive we want to be. Actions to take Moving forward, hygiene solutions will need to be built for the long-run and work to instill better hygiene practices overall. Some considerations to take are: • Reducing or removing single-use plastics and working towards a sustainable post-pandemic world.
