The latest in the Forum/Aspen 2020 Summer Lecture Series:

Along with her team, Danielle Allen, Director of Harvard’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, published the nation’s first comprehensive operational guide for mobilizing and reopening the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus crisis on April 20 (title: “Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience”). The takeaways are massively scaled up programs of testing, tracing, and supported isolation. As COVID has continued to increase and schools are dealing with issues of health and safety, Ms. Allen speaks with PBS's Hari Sreenivasan on the issues of ethics and democracy that have arisen during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Together with Stephen B. Heintz and Eric Liu, Allen chaired the bipartisan Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences that came out in June 2020.
