POSTPONED Combatting Covid with Cholent, with Dr Lea Taragin-Zeller

Dr Lea Taragin-Zeller (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) draws on her research on COVID-19 to address the disproportionate effects of the pandemic on minority groups.

As COVID-19 shifted from East Asia to Europe and then to North America, public media began reporting the disproportionate effects of the pandemic on minority groups.

Although scholars have highlighted the ways science communication reifies existing forms of structural inequality, while primarily focusing on race, gender and disabilities, the particular challenges posed by science communication for religious minorities have received less attention.

In this talk, Dr Lea Taragin-Zeller draws on her research on COVID-19 among Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews in Israel to share five foundational lessons we can all utilise to globally promote inclusive science and health communication.

In partnership with JW3

Please note: This talk will take place online only. A Zoom link to join will be included in the confirmation email upon booking.
