Sheehan, Helena (2020) Marxism, science and covid-19. In: Pandemonium Lecture Series, 26 July 2020, Online (Zoom).
Abstract
What role did science play in this pandemic? Why did some anti-science currents wither while others thrived? Were there ideological dimensions to the pattern of responses? What positions were taken by right, left and centre? What was revealed about capitalism in this crisis? And about socialism? What did marxism bring to this scenario?
