Diverse Voices Virtual Talk: COVID-19 and Women

ORWH’s new quarterly lecture series, titled “Diverse Voices: Intersectionality and the Health of Women,” will amplify research that incorporates an intersectional framework and addresses the breadth of topics relevant to the health of women. The July 28, 2022, session of “Diverse Voices: Intersectionality and the Health of Women” will focus on COVID-19 and women, featuring presentations from Heather Shattuck-Heidorn, Ph.D., of the University of Southern Maine and Stephaun Wallace, Ph.D., M.S., M.O.L., of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Dr. Shattuck-Heidorn will offer an account of intersectionality as live theory and practice in feminist science and technology studies and research. Her account is grounded in the experiences the GenderSci Lab had during its published analysis of racial and sex disparities in COVID-19 mortality. Dr. Wallace will discuss the efforts and strategies involved to ensure diverse enrollment in COVID-19 vaccine trials conducted by the COVID-19 Prevention Network.
