"Health Disparities and COVID-19"

Please join Provost Richard M. Locke for the new digital lecture series, Faculty in Focus: The Webinar happening on Thursday, April 30, at 4 p.m.

Cosponsored by the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity, this event will feature Brown University faculty members Visiting Professor of the Practice, CSREA and The School of Public Health, Ronald E. Aubert, Assistant Professor of Sociology Laura López-Sanders, and Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice and Professor of Medicine Amal N. Trivedi.

COVID-19 is having a disproportionate impact on members of marginalized communities, with disparities in infection rates and health outcomes emerging by race, ethnicity and immigration status. This multidisciplinary faculty panel will explore and discuss the underlying factors driving these disparities and ideas for addressing the issues. Provost Locke will moderate the conversation.
