Details

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: • Eli Manning, Dalhousie University • Brittany Bingham, Simon Fraser University Panelists: • Denise Baldwin • Naomi Sayers • Albert McLeod • Gillian Kolla
