Following the worst pandemic in modern history, policymakers are debating how to address the deeply unequal impacts and recovery from COVID-19. Women and people of color suffered disproportionate harm from the pandemic, further threatening an inclusive, equitable, and prosperous economy and society. Dr. C. Nicole Mason will discuss the varied impacts of the pandemic on women and long-term policy needs that will lift and sustain women’s well-being, economic stability, and upwards mobility in the United States.

The event will be moderated by Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owens, the Charles and Linda Wilson Professor in the History of Medicine and Director of the Humanities in Medicine program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
