The Covid-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on inequities that communities have known about for decades. The pandemic has also been experienced very differently across groups and individuals. This new public awareness highlights the need to center equity in all our responses. In this first session, we take the time to think about the value of deep listening and actively engaging with communities as a public health action. We will explore topics of language, voice, culture, and social cohesion in the face of COVID-19 and other emergent or current public health threats.
