Throughout summer 2020, Rachael Cobb, Associate Professor & Chair of the Department of Government at Suffolk University, collaborated with Boston NPR radio station’s Forum Network to design, “Politics in the Time of a Global Pandemic.”
This nine week public political science course brought together leading social scientists, policy experts, and U.S. politicians to discuss the pandemic from a variety of angles. Each discussion session runs roughly one hour and includes a related reading list and prompts for civic engagement actions.
Funding for the summer initiative was provided by the Lowell Institute.
