Equality Talks: Part 2 – New frontiers
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted almost every aspect of life as we knew it. Existing structural inequalities were highlighted, and often exacerbated, while ‘COVID-normal’ is asking us to take radically different approaches to the ways we live and work. What can we learn from the crisis phase of the pandemic? And can we use those lessons to craft a vision for ‘life after’ that is more equal, sustainable and resilient than ‘life before?’.
