\nOnline Zoom Meeting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

Greetings, and I hope that you and yours are healthy and safe in this better but not quite better enough time for the world, our nation, our community, and Case Western Reserve University.<\/p>\n

Our \u201cFriday Lunch\u201d continues as a Zoom-gathering.\u00a0<\/strong>Classes are almost entirely in person, but the spread of the Delta variant and news that protection through vaccination appears to decline over time mean that dining together in a large group and enclosed space remains too risky. We hope to return to an in-person event when conditions appear safer, but for the moment we can hope for good discussions with colleagues who choose whether to be visible or not, on Zoom. Please e-mail me if you have suggestions about other approaches or how to improve what we are doing. My e-mail is<\/span>\u00a0joseph.white@case.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Program<\/h3>\n

This week\u2019s topic anticipates a time when we will be able to gather in person. Pessimists may think there will be no \u201cafter\u201d the pandemic, but they are wrong:\u00a0Covid-19 may never go away, but it will not be a pandemic forever.<\/strong>\u00a0When that happens, however, how will our world be different from our world before the virus changed and took so many lives?<\/p>\n

It seems ironically timely to think about that this week, as the 20th anniversary of 9\/11 has encouraged many commentaries about that event\u2019s long-term effects. What might similar reflections on the pandemic say in ten or twenty years? We can be sure that different people, with different interests, would find different effects. But it seems worth thinking about in part for that reason: to elucidate different perspectives on both the consequences and meanings of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It also should be a good question to provoke discussion and share ideas. So I am pretty thrilled to have recruited two of our most interesting and accomplished colleagues to begin the discussion, and I hope people don\u2019t mind my tossing in my two cents\u2019 worth. I expect to comment about other examples of \u201clessons\u201d being drawn \u2013 such as how the Civil Rights movement and Vietnam war shaped subsequent American politics. I might also say a bit about perceived \u201clessons\u201d for health care and health policy, and how political divisions mean different people derive different lessons. Professor Mehlman can direct our attention to how responding to Covid-19 has involved many aspects of the legal system \u2013 including the coercive powers of public health law, questions of scope and location of practice, and liability among others. So how might the cases and conundrums arising from the pandemic shape health law going forward? Professor Turner has been considering the future of work, including research and teaching, and has written about how we jointly imagine our futures and understand our situations. How might the pandemic affect how we think about the future and indeed what kind of future we build?<\/p>\n

I hope those suggestions give people things to think about before Friday, and that our brief presentations and the thoughts you bring can encourage a discussion that gives us all lots to think about afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Signing In<\/h3>\n

This semester’s discussions will begin at 12:30 p.m., the usual time. The meeting will be set up as from Noon to 2:00 p.m., so people are not all signing in at the same time and to allow for the discussion to run a bit long.\u00a0Each week we will send out this newsletter with information about the topic. It will also include a link to register (for free) for the discussion.<\/strong>\u00a0Every Monday the same information will be posted on our website:<\/span>\u00a0fridaylunch.case.edu<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you register, you will automatically receive from the Zoom system the link to join the meeting. This week’s link for registration is:<\/span><\/p>\n

Or call at 216 368-2426 and we’ll try to get back to you. We are very pleased to be partnering this semester with the<\/span>\u00a0Siegal Lifelong Learning Program<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to share information about the discussions.<\/p>\n
