Are you interested in improving long-term resilience and response to pandemics and disruptions using Covid-19 as the foundation? Do you want to learn about the diversity of campus perspectives exploring this problem and identify ways of connecting research activities more broadly? If so, join us for a three-part series highlighting multiple angles of inquiry in response to resilience and response to pandemics and disruptions.

This second session will focus on societal resilience based around the question, "What cultural and socio-economic issues related to disruptions need to be addressed for preparedness, recovery and resilience?" Panelists include:
