[WEBCAST] Fear, Compassion or Xenophobia: Our Social Responses to Crisis
VIEW EVENT DETAILS
What holds our society together and how will our reaction to crisis impact our relations to others? How can governments, companies and individuals promote unity in the face of fear?
While reactions to the unfolding Coronavirus include solidarity, compassion and generosity, the pandemic has also caused a rise of xenophobia, distrust in others, and individualistic behaviours. Where do these various reactions stem from and what can be done to protect tolerance?
Join this multi-disciplinary panel as we examine the intricate workings of our societies and discuss how our societal responses to Covid-19 have affected our relationship with Asia and the Asian diaspora.
