The COVID-19 pandemic is a global event unlike any other experienced in the contemporary era. It’s size, scope, reach, and implications are enormous, ongoing, and unequal. Outcomes-from how people all over the world will live their daily lives to whether democracy will survive-are all in question.
Come into our virtual classroom to delve deeper into the pandemic-related themes we will explore in this survey course for everyone.
This week, McGovern will sit down with Fisk to examine the changing landscape of governing, serving constituents, and running for office in a time of the global pandemic. McGovern and Fisk will explore how has Congress adapted to manage its business during the major crises facing the nation: COVID-19, its economic impact, and the growing movement for social justice. They also will explore to what extent new rules have impacted this vital work, what challenges Congress faces in responding to unprecedented times, and what will be the most likely next steps. They also will discuss what a virtual campaign looks like and how all of this will impact voting in remaining primaries and November’s General Election.
