“Covid-19 and Its Impact on the Geo-Politics of Knowledge Production.
On 3rd May 2020, Yonphula Centenary College organized an International Webinar titled “Covid-19 and Its Impact on the Geo-Politics of Knowledge Production.” The Webinar was facilitated by Prof. Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni from the University of South Africa and Prof. Prasenjit Biswas from North-East Hill University. The reflections centered on how the biomedical crisis of Covid-19 has opened up multiple forms of narratives based on race, class, caste, community and gender. The speakers presented their arguments from their respective geo-political vantage points and tried to socio-historically locate the reasons behind the various existential pandemics within a pandemic.
