CCR & GODESS After-Work @Home #4 "Crisis, COVID and the case for cross-disciplinary studies for the future" with Jeff Hearn
For this session, CCR collaborates with the GODESS Institute and invites Jeff Hearn to talk about "Crisis, COVID and the case for cross-disciplinary studies for the future".
Jeff will introduce the session with some comments on his recent co-authored article on Interdisciplinary Crisis Studies in Global Discourse, and some reflections on possible social impacts of COVID-19 and future thinking.
“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different”
- Arundhati Roy, ‘The pandemic is a portal’
In a series live-streamed sit-ins during the Covid-19 pandemic, we invite a number of researchers to present one idea related to the our series theme “Disasters, Disaster Capitalism, and Beyond” in 20 minutes. After the presentation we invite the virtual audience for questions and discussion through chat or audio.
Remember to put a beer in the fridge and join your colleagues for a semi-informal after-work @home!
