Fletcher Reads the News: A Pandemic-Proof World

Friday, March 27, 2020 at 9:00 AM until 11:00 AMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

Online

You are invited to the 16th installment of Fletcher Reads the Newspaper, a series of events organized by Fletcher's Institute for Business in the Global Context that dives into topics "ripped from the headlines" and explores solutions and recommendations. 

This event will focus on the topic of the COVID-19 pandemic and options for its containment, asking and discussing the question as can be done only at Fletcher at the intersection of global health, business,  geopolitics, law, technology and multilateral relations:Is this multilateralism's shining moment or mission impossible? 

We’ll convene an expert panel to examine this question as it relates to public health, global economics, law, digital misinformation and privacy, and politics. A list of speakers can be found below. Please note that this event will take place online through Zoom, a web conferencing platform. A link to join the Zoom event will be provided via email the day before the event takes place.
