The School of Law proudly announces the launch of a series of podcasts (in both video and audio form) under the general heading: “COVID-19: Καθεστώς Εξαίρεσης;” (“Covid-19: State of Exception?”). This new series is consistent with the University’s and likewise the School of Law’s mission for constant outreach to society and, in particular, to the current coronavirus pandemic.
The aim is to examine the current pandemic within the framework of the three pillars of research of the School of Law, i.e. Law, Politics and Governance. Video podcasts will be uploaded in the newly-created School of Law YouTube Channel and as audio podcasts through Spotify. In addition, podcasts shall also be distributed through the specialized Law portal www.dikaiosyni.com.
The first four episodes were simultaneously launched on 27/03 and are available on the School’s YouTube channel and Spotify, as below:
