Where:
Zoom Webinar
Find on Campus Map
Description:

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged people to think creatively about how they can confront and cope with the global crisis. What we often fail to recognize is our ability to evolve and adapt as the landscape of the pandemic continues to change. Join us for a dynamic conversation about resiliency, as we continue to move beyond COVID-19. 

Join the conversation led by CBC podcast host and Buzzfeed culture writer and editor, Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Artsci’11, where he will speak to Queen's researchers and experts in health care, politics, economic recovery, and public opinion and examine topics such as:

  • What are the implications of the fourth wave and Delta variant on our health care systems? 
  • What will economic recovery look like? How can we ensure we are ready for future global health crises? 
  • How has public trust in government changed? 
  • Are we now more resilient as a global society?

Tune in for an opportunity to participate in the Q&A session. 

This event will be recorded. Register to receive the recording so you can watch at your leisure.
