Global Perspectives Series: Human Rights at Home
Join the Center for Global Engagement for Global Perspective Series on "Human Rights at Home," a three-part fall series. Experts will discuss why the United States has taken a divergent route on human rights and how embracing the international human rights system could make a critical impact in addressing system racism and differential access to education and health care.
The first webinar is "Health as a Human Right in the United States: What COVID-19 Has Exposed" November 17 from 10-11 a.m.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the perilous state of access to health care in the United States and the danger inadequate access poses to every citizen. In countries such as Costa Rica, where health care is a right, the virus was much better controlled. Are we at a turning point on how we think about health as a human right?
Moderated by Flavius R. W. Lilly, PhD, MA, MPH, Vice Provost, Academic & Student Affairs and Vice Dean, Graduate School.
