Transcript of the interview with Louise Baur.

Louise Baur, Professor of Child & Adolescent Health; Douglas Burrows Chair of Paediatrics; Consultant Paediatrician, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, was interviewed by Kristian Marijanovic as part of a survey of students and staff experiences of the ongoing pandemic on 6 November 2020 at 11.33 am at Louise’s office at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

This interview is part of the Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic Project, a student-led survey, designed by undergraduate representatives in the History Department at the University of Sydney. The goal is to contribute to the archival record that documents this moment in time, in a way that will be useful for future scholars.

The survey is in two parts. The first asks for personal stories and experiences about self-isolation over the few months in 2020. The second queries the institutional response to the pandemic, including questions about the creation of knowledge about this moment in time.
