Public Policy During a Global Pandemic image

A series of webinars and briefing notes examining the policy aspects of the current COVID-19 public health crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses an extraordinary challenge for policymakers. We've put together a series of webinars and briefings with our experts to delve into the various policy aspects of the current public health crisis: economics, the role of the media, intergovernmental coordination, the tension between public health and civil liberties, decision-making and uncertainty, and the role of international institutions.

Webinars are open to the public. Priority during the Q&A section of the webinars will be given to Max Bell MPP students, faculty, and staff. Video recordings of the webinars will be made public on a rolling basis. Briefing notes will be published after each webinar. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive updates on this series.
