What lessons can we draw from the COVID-19 pandemic response for addressing emerging natural and geopolitical crises, from future pandemics to the climate crisis? What forms of response are needed, and how can political obligations best be managed in such a context?
A future pandemic response or other whole-of-society emergency requires enhanced coordination, capacity and awareness of the social dimensions of public interventions, such as stay-at-home orders. But what of the perspective of citizens themselves when they are asked to ‘do their duty’? And how do these responses vary across different geographical and political contexts?
Such questions are of interest to a range of stakeholders concerned with the interface of policy and scientific knowledge, including those seeking to understand the interactions between public health actors, data and modelling communities, social scientists and policymakers.
Join us for an upcoming event, where a panel of experts will address such questions with a view to shedding light on the politics of duties in collective action processes.
Coffee and a light breakfast will be served.
