World After Coronavirus: A Pardee Center Video Series

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis of unprecedented scale, with aftershocks that will be felt in virtually every aspect of life for years or decades to come. The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, an affiliate center of the Pardee School of Global Studies, launched a new video series called “The World After Coronavirus,” (#WorldAfterCorona) on March 27, 2020. In this series, leading experts and practitioners from Boston University and across the world were featured as they explored the challenges and opportunities we will face in our post-coronavirus future.

The series is hosted by Professor Adil Najam, Inaugural Dean of the Pardee School of Global Studies and former Director of the Pardee Center. Each episode is around five minutes long, and is an edited version of a slightly longer conversation between Dean Najam and our featured guest. The guests featured in the series are leading experts from around the world, including a number at Boston University and its Pardee School of Global Studies.

The Pardee Center intends to keep adding new ‘episodes’ to the series every few days. All will be curated on YouTube, and on this page.
