Dear Social Work Community:
This week we will have special guest at our conversation on stigma in the time of COVID-19: Charles Sanky, MD Candidate from Icahn School of Medicine, Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City.
Charles will contribute his perspective from New York City the epicenter of the pandemic and will join us in a conversation on how multiple personal identities make us more or less vulnerable to the virus and to its associated stigma and inequities. This follows on conversations the Faculty Allies for Diversity have been having for the past four weeks on social consequences of the pandemic. For the next few weeks, we will invite guests to speak on issues concerning other areas (Detroit, New Orleans) hard hit by COVID-19. Please join us!
· Facilitator: Rogério M. Pinto
· Faculty Allies Co-Chairs Rogério Pinto and Addie Weaver
· Faculty Allies members: Trina Shanks, Todd Herrenkohl,
David Córdova and Lorraine Gutiérrez
· DEI Director Larry Gant
We look forward to having a robust discussion
