The Global Pandemic The Covid-19 pandemic is a global event unlike any other experienced in the contemporary era. It’s size, scope, reach, and implications are enormous, ongoing, and unequal. Outcomes—from how people all over the world will live their daily lives to whether democracy will survive—are all in question. Come into our virtual classroom to delve deeper into the pandemic-related themes we will explore in this survey course for everyone. Mahrukh Doctor, Vivien Schmidt, and Sebastián Royo, all experts with a global focus, will discuss the differential impact of the pandemic around the world, and the differential responses across nations, comparing countries, regions, and states in the context of democracy, populism, public trust, and compliance. Live at 4:00 pm This event is free and open to the public REGISTER NOW TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION https://wgbh.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uOAD1cEuQh-WOU1OV-IG6w
