Spaced Out (Forum for Philosophy)

City centres have experienced an exodus. Social distancing has emptied work places and theatres, and transformed the way we move through parks, streets, and supermarkets. At the same time, lockdown has meant that we are ever-present in our own homes. How can we plan for a future where human beings can share both public and private spaces? Katie Beswick, Julia King, and Antoine Picon discuss what this new COVID-19 world might look like.

Speakers
Katie Beswick, Author and Senior Lecturer in Drama, University of Exeter
Julia King, Research Fellow, LSE Cities
Antoine Picon, G. Ware Travelstead Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology, Harvard Graduate School of Design

Chair
Shahidha Bari, Fellow, Forum for Philosophy & Professor, University of the Arts London
