2021-11-06 07:30:22 [Zoom Webinar] SMU x NLB Series: Pandemics and Surveillance

A series of recent global reports have identified linked areas of deeply systemic and intertwined social and political risks that will impact cities and their inhabitants as we move further into the Anthropocene. In Southeast Asia, these interlinked issues – including climate change, migration and public health – necessitate solutions not just from the sciences, but all fields.

This speaker series will explore how some of these issues are being addressed from different disciplinary perspectives, by scholars and policy makers across the social sciences and humanities.
