39: World After Covid series: Negative Consequences (Part I) - Social Inequality, Loneliness, Economic Hardships, and Despair
Which domain or aspect of social life will show the most significant negative societal and/or psychological change in response to the pandemic?
Igor and Charles share and discuss responses from 57 of the world's leading behavioral and social scientists, collected as part of the World After Covid project. Each episode, four responses are selected. This time, the conversation covers themes of social inequality, loneliness, economic hardships, and despair in the midst of the pandemic. Igor assesses 3 sharply contrasting visions of the future, and Charles reflects on the idea of pandemics as the downside of something mostly very beneficial - the highly social nature of our species.
Featuring:
Azim Shariff, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair of Moral Psychology at the University of British Columbia, and director of the Center for Applied Moral Psychology
Nicholas Christakis, Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University
Roy Baumeister, Professor of Psychology at the University of Queensland
Veronica Benet Martinez, Endowed position as an ICREA Professor at Pompeu Fabra University, where she is head of the Behavioral and Experimental Social Sciences research group
