Obenshain Family Great Issues Lecture
Pandemics: Looking Back to Look Forward
In Conversation with John Barry and Kendall Hoyt, moderated by Victoria Holt

What does the future hold? As we all eagerly look ahead to COVID receding in our rearview mirror, the time is now to start looking at the lessons learned from the pandemic. Two international experts in biosecurity and the global effects of disease take the stage to discuss the origins of COVID, analyze our preparedness, and suggest ways to prevent the next epidemic.

Join us in the conversation with John Barry, New York Times bestselling author of The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, and Professor Kendall Hoyt, the Dickey Center’s new Faculty Director of the Pandemic Security Project, both advisers on the national Covid Commission Planning Group. They, along with moderator and Dickey Center Director, Tori Holt, seek to answer the question “Where do we go next?”

John M. Barry is a prize-winning and New York Times best-selling author whose books have won multiple awards. The National Academies of Sciences named his 2004 book The Great Influenza: The story of the deadliest pandemic in history, a study of the 1918 pandemic, the year's outstanding book on science or medicine. His earlier book Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, won the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American Historians for the year's best book of American history and in 2005 the New York Public Library named it one of the 50 best books in the preceding 50 years, including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. His books have also been embraced by experts in applicable fields: in 2006 he became the only non-scientist ever to give the National Academies Abel Wolman Distinguished Lecture, a lecture which honors contributions to water-related science, and he was the only non-scientist on a federal government Infectious Disease Board of Experts. He has served on numerous boards, including ones at M.I.T's Center for Engineering Systems Fundamentals, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Society of American Historians.

Kendall Hoyt is the new Faculty Director for the Dickey Global Health Initiative's Pandemic Security Project, an 18-month endeavor to explore and analyze the lessons surfaced during the global response to the pandemic. She also serves as an Assistant Professor at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and a Senior Lecturer at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College where she teaches courses on biosecurity, health systems, and technological innovation. Her research is focused on health security, innovation policy, and vaccine development. She serves on the US Covid Commission Planning Group. She has served as a consultant for the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. She is the author of Long Shot: Vaccines for National Defense, Harvard University Press, 2012.

John Gartrell is the director of the John Hope Franklin Research Center at Duke University Library.

John Hope Franklin: The Global Scholar reflects on the international influence and scholarship of Dr. John Hope Franklin. Beginning with his first international trip in 1951, Dr. Franklin visited over thirty countries in his life, as a teacher, lecturer and special guest of the US State Department. As an expert in the history of the American South, he was routinely called upon to provide context to the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s to global audiences. This multimedia presentation highlights how his presence made him one of the most influential scholars responsible for sharing the history of the United States and African Americans around the globe.

The discussion is presented by the John Hope Franklin Center and the Duke University Library.

In LSE Health's Annual Lecture, Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, will walk us through a dual track approach to health strategy and policy.

As we embark on the fourth year of COVID-19, it’s clear that governments and health partners need a new approach to strengthening health systems overall. Dr Kluge avers that a dual track approach to health strategy and policy must be our new normal. Countries must prepare for the health emergencies that lie ahead, arriving faster than ever before, while, at the same time, investing in essential, everyday health services. #LSEHealth

ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainers videos and animations. We cover topics related to business, economics, geopolitics, social issues and everything in between that we think are interesting.

The benefits of prevention over cure are self-evident and yet we are reluctant to invest in staying healthy. Resolution of this age-old dilemma begins with a timeless truth: the benefits of good health come at a cost; prevention is not better than cure at any price. That logic leads to the testable hypothesis that prevention should be favoured when an imminent, high-risk, high-impact hazard can be averted at relatively low cost.

Application of this idea helps to explain why cigarette smoking is still common place, why the world was not ready for the COVID-19 pandemic, why billions still do not have access to safe sanitation, and why the response to climate change has been so slow.

Join Professor Chris Dye, author of The Great Health Dilemma, and Professor Salim Abdool Karim, Director of the Centre for the AIDS Program of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA), as they discuss ways to invest more money and effort in health promotion and prevention around the world today.

The Economy and Its Current Effects with Mr. Austin S. Fallah

Increasingly the world over, the concept of rehabilitation is winning ground over that of punishment when dealing with prisoners. Penitentiaries around the globe are striving to effect change by providing inmates with opportunities during their sentence, so that they can more easily be reintegrated into society and become, once again, active and fulfilled members of their communities.

International standards include the Nelson Mandela Rules, of which UNODC is the guardian, stipulating that imprisonment should not be limited to the deprivation of liberty, but that it should be a time for the re-education of prisoners. Rehabilitation includes a number of venues, but for UNODC’s Prisoner Rehabilitation initiative, resources and support have been developed in the three core areas of education, vocational training, and employment during prison years, with the goal of contributing to the prisoners’ employability after release, and thus reducing chances of recidivism.

An Ancillary Event at this week’s 14th Crime Congress in Kyoto was held by the Prisoner Rehabilitation initiative to discuss the promotion of rehabilitation programmes, and the post-release services to foster prisoners’ social reintegration. Joining UNODC experts were Ambassador Sultan bin Salmeen Al Mansouri, Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations in Vienna; Satoru Ohashi, Director-General of the Correction Bureau in the Ministry of Justice of Japan; Raphael Hamunyela, Commissioner General of the Namibian Correctional Service; Troy Jack Thevathasan, correctional rehabilitation specialist in Singapore; Reynhard Silitonga, Director General of Corrections, Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Indonesia; and Olivia Rope, Executive Director of Penal Reform International.

African countries have diversified their exports and trade partners over the last decade, but agricultural trade still lags behind its potential. The pandemic and recent implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) present a critical challenge and an unprecedented opportunity for Africa. The newly launched 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) examines these recent events, as well as long-term structural issues, and offers recommendations for improving Africa’s competitiveness and increasing agricultural trade flows.

The AATM has become the essential annual African agricultural trade publication, highlighting trends, competitiveness of Africa’s local and global value chains, and regional market integration, along with key policies and opportunities for strengthening trade. This seminar will explore the 2021 findings, including the impact of COVID-19 and the AfCFTA, and this year’s special focus on regional integration in Northern Africa’s Arab Maghreb Union.

This is the video recap of the first Bing Ads EMEA Travel Summit organised in Barcelona on April 18th 2017.

Several speakers from Microsoft Search Advertising and two guest speakers: Simon Calder, Travel Journalist and Broadcaster and Matt Vignieri, EMEA Managing Director of Kenshoo present.

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus, airlines have been forced to cut jobs in the face of a steep decline in passenger demand and companies have had to halt the production and delivery of orders.

However, prior to the crisis the industry was forecasting continued growth in global air traffic and looking to innovate air travel to simultaneously meet the demand for travel while reducing carbon emissions.

Could the pandemic present an opportunity to think innovatively to address the immediate crisis facing the industry and accelerate the switch to newer and greener technology?

Panelists discuss how the pandemic has impacted the industry and if it is possible to view this as an opportunity for reinventing air travel. How have border policies put in place to contain the pandemic impacted air travel and the wider industry? What can companies do to address the concerns of passengers underpinning the declining demand? Does the crisis present an opportunity to look at longer-term plans and investment strategies in green technology? What are some options being considered and which are the most viable? And what are the respective roles of organizations, governments and the international community in moving towards carbon-neutral air travel?
