The 2020 Berlin Family Lectures with Danielle Allen
"Democracy in the Time of Coronavirus"
Lecture four: "A Transformed Peace"
May 20, 2020
Our economy and society were vulnerable to the pandemic along many dimensions when the Coronavirus hit. This lecture revisits the question of what pandemic readiness and resilience consist of, and proposes what a transformed peace should look like for us. Our world will not look the same at the end of this crisis as it looked at the start, nor should it.
This is the fourth lecture in a four-lecture series presented in the spring of 2020 at the University of Chicago.
Named for Randy L. and Melvin R. Berlin, the Berlin Family Lectures bring leading scholars, writers, and creative artists from around the world to the University of Chicago. Each visitor offers an extended series of lectures with the aim of interacting with the university community and developing a book for publication with the University of Chicago Press.
