Perspectives on COVID-19 and the Common Good

The Signs of the Times Podcast - A podcast by Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame

How do we protect and serve those who are most vulnerable in our society right now? Who are the most vulnerable members? What does it look like to practice physical distancing instead of social distancing? Our panel of experts ranging from the fields of medicine, labor, global health, and theology tackle these questions and more as they relate to the common good in light of the current global pandemic. The common good relates to the flourishing of each and every person in society and if even one person is left without their basic necessities to flourish, the good of everyone is diminished. The good news is there can be a hopeful opportunity in this era to learn where the systemic vulnerabilities in our society exist and transform structures and institutions accordingly.
