Deepening the Divide: How the Pandemic Exacerbates Disparities
The Goldfarb Center is hosting a virtual panel of experts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 5th to discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected marginalized communities, particularly communities of color in the United States. From misinformation to vaccine access, our guest speakers will discuss the disparities that became clearer and wider by the pandemic and solutions to address the divide. Featured speakers include Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick, an epidemiologist and physician; J. Stephen Morrison, global health and policy expert from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS); and Colby Professor Nadia El-Shaawari, a cultural and medical anthropologist.
The event will be moderated by Kimberly Flowers, Goldfarb Center Executive Director, and Josúe Gonzalas '23, representing the Goldfarb Student Executive Board.
This will be a virtual event and registration is required. Closed Captions and ASL will be available.
