Join the University of Arizona College of Science and the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences for an online series on the past, present, and future of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The series, titled “Science + Society: Transformation during COVID-19,” will provide an interdisciplinary perspective on a pandemic that has upended the health and economy of the world, worsened systemic inequality, and challenged our interpersonal ties and personal well-being. Drawing on a range of fields, the series will examine the ways the pandemic has changed our lives.

The three conversations will pair experts from the two colleges, and their discussions will be moderated by award-winning reporter Nancy Montoya. The lectures will premiere on the series YouTube page on July 23, 30, and Aug. 6, 2020, at 5 p.m. (MST). They will be available to watch any time after they go live.
