CAS Event Wednesday: The Coronavirus Crisis: an emergency teach-in
Wednesday, February 19 at 3pm
Chancellor's Auditorium
CASE Building, 4th floor
The novel coronavirus presents a serious challenge to China’s healthcare system, as well as to global public health. Economic and political impacts will also be severe, with repercussions that will likely last for years. Meanwhile, some responses to the virus in the United States, and in other countries, raise questions about how the health crisis is being weaponized for racist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant agendas. This teach-in seeks to provide medical, social, political, and cultural perspectives on the coronavirus crisis, and provide resources for students and educators to understand and address the crisis from multiple points of view.
Moderated by CAS Director Tim Oakes
Panelists: Molly Lamb, Assistant Professor, Colorado School of Public Health
Xiaoling Chen, PhD Student in Health Geographies, University of Colorado Boulder
Travis Klingberg, Postdoctoral Fellow in Geography, NYU Shanghai
