Round table “Dealing with COVID-19: Impact of the Coronavirus on Our Societies”

28 Січня, 2021international office

A year ago our future in the Netherlands and Ukraine looked profoundly different than today. In February 2020 we started to dream about spring. Some of us booked our holidays. Our classes were filled with students. We hugged, we kissed, we had drinks in our cafés. Then COVID-19 all of a sudden changed everything. Today we live in a 1 ½ meter society, we wear masks, our hospitals are filled with patients gasping for breath, we are in lockdown, we discovered Zoom. In short, we are living in a pandemic society. Today we wake up, asking ourselves what COVID-19 has done to us, to our societies, to our lives.

In this round table sociologists, philosophers, political scientists, psychologists, and doctors of the Ukrainian Catholic University (Lviv) and the University of Humanistic Studies (Utrecht, The Netherlands) are sharing their research and views on how COVID-19 has affected and changed our societies. Our leading question is ‘what can we learn from living and working in a pandemic society?’ Do we have clues on how to deal with COVID-19? What are the challenges we are facing for the future to come?
