Event date: -

Event type: Single day (a day or less)

The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized social inequity and has caused certain groups to feel the impact of the virus more severely than others. While many groups have had the privilege to access affordable healthcare, safe housing,  adequate financial resources; and the option to work remotely, to manage the pandemic, such privilege has been denied to others.

Register to this webinar, kicking off with expert panelists setting the context of this seven webinar series, with engaging discussions on how the challenges of COVID-19 can be creatively addressed, using the lens of equity, diversity and inclusion.
