Nationalism in times of crisis A team of Penn philosophers examine whether it’s morally acceptable for the government to prioritize its own people’s interests and needs during a global pandemic.
In 2007, a philosopher and professor of political theory, proposed a thought experiment: a pandemic has broken out and vaccines are in limited supply. Knowing that people in other countries are more vulnerable, is it wrong for the government to vaccinate its own people before sending any surplus abroad?
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Kok-Chor Tan, professor of philosophy, Eilidh Beaton, and doctoral candidates Mike Gadomski and Dylan Manson explore whether governments are morally justified in favoring their own people during global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twelve years ago, Adam Sudmann sat in his Brooklyn apartment sketching out models for a multinational food hall. And on Friday, those sketches will come to fruition in downtown Syracuse.
Salt City Market, at 484 South Salina Street, is set to open at 11 a.m. on Friday and features food vendors with cuisines from around the world. The market was designed to model various food halls across the country and has 11 different food vendors.
Sudmann said that the market wouldn’t have been created without the Allyn Family Foundation. The foundation created the Syracuse Urban Partnership for projects like Salt City Market, and about a quarter of the foundation’s endowment went to the project.

There’s a good reason kids (and many adults) love the cocoa bomb, which has become one of the hottest food trends in the nation this holiday season. Eater.com reported this week they’ve “exploded on TikTok.”
It’s a hard shell of chocolate, wrapped around ingredients like cocoa powder, peppermint candy, marshmallows, berries and/or sprinkles. They’re typically decorated in playful or festive fashion.
