Social Justice in Crisis: Social Justice Week
Covid-19 has upended our world in ways that will require years of reflection and study to fully understand. The pandemic has impacted us all, but it has not done so equally. The simple truth is that the pandemic has exacerbated inequalities among those marginalized because of race, poverty, gender, ability, and other factors. Our 2021 Social Justice Week takes up the task of better understanding the interplay between this global pandemic, social justice, and the lived experience of people most inordinately impacted by the virus.
Join us for a week of events that explore the pandemic’s impact from economic, mental, behavioral, and physical health, criminal justice, racial justice, and global perspectives. Visit CSM’s Office of Equity and Inclusive Diversity to get more info and to register for events.
