SOAS COVID-19 CONFERENCE: Learning lessons from Covid-19: Hearing voices from multi-lingual cultural and vulnerable communities

When we think about the most vulnerable people who have been affected by Covid-19, we need to understand Covid-19 at systemic level or as a “syndemic” as Richard Horton (2020) proposes. For example, it is known that Covid-19 spread vigorously especially amongst Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (sometimes called BAME) groups in the UK, leading to high mortality rates (2021), ultimately impacting society as a whole. Yet, the reasons for this are not clear.

This conference aims to discuss above issues, with emphasis on but not exclusive ethnic and miority communities, blind and partially sighted people, and victims of domestic violence and children.

 

Dates: 21st – 23rd April, 2022 (all day, UK time)
