"Rose: Societal subjectivities around Covid-19: a Curaçaoan cultural perspective"

Professor. Dr. Rose Mary Allen

Jeanette Juliet- Pablo

COVID-19 has uncovered and exacerbated many longstanding social-economics fault lines. The pandemic has disproportionately impacted least developed- and developing countries and there within the disadvantaged groups. Even in developed countries the impact disclosed the economic differences within the social classification of the different societies.

Besides the local challenges as set forth by COVID-19, the authorities also have to provide a response to socio- and geopolitical issues. To what extent is any society willing to assist any foreign community with the required resources to combat the pandemic. To what extent is the local authority willing to keep temporary foreigners, being students or not, within their society? And, if yes, to what extent does the provision of assistance differentiate per temporary residents, ethnic groups, and minorities. Till when are residents and other immigrants and from where allowed to reintegrate in the community? In this framework the plenary will discuss issues from several viewpoints on the impact of pandemic on the following: Social, Economic, Financial, Education and last but not least the Management. The concentration will be the case of island territory of Curacao.
