Event Description
From the Black Death in the fourteenth century to the spread of influenza in 1918, disease crises and social recovery have revealed persistent urban disparities that are structured by capitalist networks. As “endemic risks,” pandemics are the product of both global and local markets and represent a complex interplay between health, environmental conditions, and occupational histories. The panel will open the discussion of covid-19 to this broader framework, recasting the analysis of public health risk in terms of globalization, racism, changing labor conditions, and 21st-century capitalism.
