Public policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused enormous global economic disruption, as have reactions from consumers and corporations. The economic turmoil is visible everywhere – in supply chains, in unemployment numbers and in housing markets.
Our panel, including Michael Ettlinger, Founding Director University of New Hampshire Carsey School of Public Policy; Kristen Broady, Metropolitan Policy Fellow at the Brookings Institute, and Jacob Faber, Associate Professor of Sociology and Public Service at New York University will discuss these trends and consider how economic disruptions will further impact our behaviors or change the fundamentals of how markets function. They'll consider the treatment of vulnerable groups and think about things like the care economy and public health infrastructure going forward.
Politics in the Era of Global Pandemic— 2.0, is produced by Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University, the Political Science & Legal Studies department at Suffolk University, and the GBH Forum Network. Guest speakers examine the issues at play in year two of the COVID-19 pandemic, from global infection rates to the havoc on the economy, our politics, and our trust in our governments.
This virtual event will begin at 6pm Eastern Standard Time.
