SIAA Speakers' Corner n. 2
Andrew Lakoff, University of Southern California
The Italian Society for Applied Anthropology (SIAA) in cooperation with the Department of Political and Social Sciences at the University of Catania launches its second Speaker' Corner "Listen to the pandemic", with Andrew Lakoff as speaker.
In his latest book, "Unprepared. Global Health in Time of Emergency", Andrew Lakoff follows the history of health preparedness from its beginnings in 1950s Cold War civil defense to the early twenty-first century, when international health authorities carved out a global space for governing potential outbreaks. In our next speakers' corner, he will explain why despite health authorities, government officials and vaccine manufacturers have been concerned with the possibility of a global pandemic, and funds have been devoted to cutting-edge research on pathogenic organisms, the project of global health security continues to be unsettled by the prospect of surprise, as the COVID-19 emergency is clearly showing.
