At the Intersection of Multiple Pandemics: Colonialism, Racism, Overdose Crisis, Gender-Based Violence, and COVID-19: A panel discussion/Séance spéciale : Au croisement de multi-pandémies : Colonialisme, racisme, crise des opioïdes, violence sexospécifique et COVID-19 : tribune-discussion
Join us at this synchronous panel discussion that engages key leaders and thinkers in questions that have been amplified in COVID-19. This session is hosted by the Co-Chairs of the Epidemiology and Public Health and Social Sciences Tracks. Our goals for this panel discussion are:
• To highlight the issues of equity and sovereignty seeking communities. COVID-19 compounds multiple other pre-existing pandemics such as racism, sexism, HIV, the Opioid crisis, gender-based violence, and other forces to exacerbate the issues faced by these communities.
• To break out of the HIV exceptionalism box and connect discussions and actions to other socio-structural and related overlapping issues impacting communities.
• To bring together diverse leaders and thinkers across multiple related fields.
The panel will be a live (synchronous online) on May 5th 4:15-5:15pm EDT. The session will begin with each panelist speaking for 5-7 mins in response to our broad questions. The remaining time will be an interactive discussion among panelists as well as a curated live Q&A session (10 mins). This session is hosted by the Co-Chairs of the Epidemiology and Public Health and Social Sciences Tracks.
Moderators:
