PPE in a Time of Pandemic: Moral Dilemmas, Moral Risk, and Science in a Democratic Society
March 27, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Friday, March 27, 2020, 3PM ET
Panel 1: Moral Dilemmas, Moral Risk, and Science in a Democratic Society
Philip Kitcher (Columbia University) and Max Khan Hayward (University of Sheffield) in conversation with Simone Gubler (UNC, Chapel Hill). Kitcher recently published Coronavirus, Welcome to American! in the LA Review of Books and Hayward was recently interviewed for a piece in Wired asking “Is it morally acceptable to go to the pub during the coronavirus crisis?”
*** Video of the conversation is available HERE. ***
This is the first in a series of online conversations to take place live, online, on Friday afternoons, hosted by he UNC Philosophy, Politics and Economics Program.
Each panel will feature prominent experts in social and political thought grappling with the implications of living and thinking through these extraordinary times.
It is our hope that these moderated panels will provide a means to promote intellectual community in trying times, to supplement educational programming now that the university has moved online, and to establish a prominent public forum for timely and informed philosophical conversations about life in the shadow of the coronavirus.
