Lifting the Curtain: How COVID-19 Exposes Inequalities
Friday, April 1, 2022 11:00 am – 1:00 pm Newfoundland Time
WebEx (Registration Required)
Join the Department of Anthropology’s online roundtable discussion with Dr. Merrill Singer (University of Connecticut), Dr. Ellen Badone (McMaster University), and Dr. Catherine Bryan (Dalhousie University).
The Covid-19 pandemic has exposed the profoundly unequal character of contemporary societies. This discussion will illuminate the inequalities highlighted by COVID-19 locally, nationally and globally, in terms of access to healthcare and to safe working and living conditions; various forms of oppression; and the impacts of labour exploitation, job losses, and labour shortages. Find out what anthropology can offer to help critically analyze the sociocultural and economic impacts of the pandemic.
