Pandemic and Politics: COVID-19, Global Crisis and the Challenge to Humanity

14 May 2020

In continuation with our Webinar Series, Kent’s European Centres are holding some online discussions centered around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Date:   Thursday 14 May

Time:  15h in Brussels

Title:   Pandemic and Politics: COVID-19, Global Crisis and the Challenge to Humanity

 

What has COVID-19 revealed about our political world? Has it changed national politics and international relations? How might democracy and capitalism evolve? Migration and migrants seem to be one more casualty in the pandemic; will this remain? Or will the globe revert to the old ‘normal’?

Scholars from the University of Kent’s internationally renown Brussels School of International Studies will discuss politics post-pandemic, a lack of leadership, the ideology behind public responses and the potential for political realignments.

 

The discussion will be hosted by Professor Jeremy Carrette, Dean for Europe and Professor of Philosophy, Religion and Culture.

 

Panellists:

 

 

  • Dr Albena Azmanova, Reader in Politicial and Social Thought, University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies
