SUMMARY:Lessons from Mexico's COVID-19 Response
DESCRIPTION:With daily reported cases reaching approximately 12\,000\, Mexico is among the top 15 countries with known cases of COVID-19. This high rate of infection has challenged Mexico’s leaders to adapt and respond effectively while also forcing them to spend considerable time countering criticism of their efforts. Zoé Alejandro Robledo\, Director General of the Mexican Institute of Social Security\, will join Ricardo Hausmann\, Rafik Hariri Professor of the Practice of International Political Economy at Harvard Kennedy School\, to discuss the country’s experience with COVID-19\, including both the successes and the many challenges its leaders have encountered as they seek to bring the crisis to an end. Thalia Porteny\, postdoctoral fellow at the Lab on Research\, Ethics\, Aging and Community Health (REACH Lab)\, will offer intro remarks and will recite the Harvard Land Acknowledgement. \nThis conversation is part of a year-long\, virtual discussion series: Crisis Leadership in a Pandemic: Lessons Learned in the Fight Against COVID-19\, sponsored by the Program on Crisis Leadership and the Ash Center. \nZoé Alejandro Robledo earned his Masters in Law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and also holds certificates from George Washington University and John F. Kennedy School of Government. He has served in several senior government roles including Senator for the State of Chaipas and Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior.

SUMMARY:Lessons from Canada's COVID-19 Response
DESCRIPTION:Canada took early steps to manage the spread of COVID-19 by closing borders\, limiting travel\, and instituting lockdowns at the provincial level. Although these early efforts initially succeeded in managing the spread of COVID-19\, they failed to prevent a second wave of cases from overwhelming the country’s public health system. The situation became so dire in Canada’s largest province\, Ontario\, that private long-term care facilities required military support to manage patient care. The Hon. Harjit S. Sajjan\, Canada’s Minister of National Defence\, will join Juliette Kayyem\, Belfer Senior Lecturer in International Security and Faculty Director of the Homeland Security Project at Harvard Kennedy School\, to discuss these and other experiences in Canada’s response to COVID-19. \nThis conversation is part of a year-long\, virtual discussion series “Crisis Leadership in a Pandemic: Lessons Learned in the Fight Against COVID-19”\, sponsored by the Program on Crisis Leadership and the Ash Center. \nAbout the Speaker \nMinister Sajjan is a former Lieutenant Colonel in the British Columbia Regiment\, with which he participated in four operational deployments. He also spent 11 years as a detective addressing gang crime with the Vancouver Police Department.

SUMMARY:WAPPP Seminar Series: The State of Women’s Participation and Empowerment: New Challenges to Gender Equality
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration\nand Platform for Action (1995). It is therefore timely to take stock of\nthe overarching picture of the state of women’s participation and\nempowerment in public life. Part I summarizes and captures relevant\nnormative and legal policy frameworks and compares the conceptual and\nempirical interconnections among the three focus areas of the priority\ntheme: women’s participation in civic society\, their empowerment in\npolitical decision-making\, and the elimination of violence against women\nin public life. \nThe results of the analysis suggest that when women’s participation\nand empowerment are understood as multidimensional\, evidence suggests\nthat progress across all pillars has not advanced at the same pace\nworldwide. Progress in women’s participation and empowerment is limited\nby the continued prevalence of socially conservative cultural attitudes\nand by persistent gender gaps in women’s civic engagement\, their\nrepresentation in legislative and executive office\, and their impact in\ntransforming the public policy agenda. In many places\, advancement\ntowards gender equality in public life has commonly faltered and\nstagnated in recent years – or else even deteriorated – thereby falling\nwell short of the world’s commitments to advancing fundamental\nprinciples of women’s empowerment and participation. In short\, warning\nsigns suggest that the world has been entering a chillier climate for\nadvancing gender equality women’ rights during the 21st century. \nPippa Norris\, the Paul F. McGuire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at\nHKS\, and Faculty Affiliate in the Department of Government\, has taught\nat Harvard for more than a quarter century. A comparative political\nscientist\, her work focuses on democracy\, public opinion and elections\,\npolitical communications\, and gender politics aroound the world. Google\nScholar ranks her 5th worldwide in political science citations\, with an H\nindex of 104\, the SSRN ranks her in the top 5% of scholars across all\ndisciplines\, and Ioannidis et al (2019) rank her as the most cited\npolitical scientist in the world.

SUMMARY:'Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era'\, with Ming Hsu Chen\, University of Colorado in Boulder Law School
DESCRIPTION:Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era provides readers with the everyday perspectives of immigrants on what it is like to try to integrate into American society during a time when immigration policy is focused on enforcement and exclusion.The law says that everyone who is not a citizen is an alien. But the social reality is more complicated. Ming Hsu Chen argues that the citizen/alien binary should instead be reframed as a spectrum of citizenship\, a concept that emphasizes continuities between the otherwise distinct experiences of membership and belonging for immigrants seeking to become citizens. To understand citizenship from the perspective of noncitizens\, this book utilizes interviews with more than one-hundred immigrants of varying legal statuses about their attempts to integrate economically\, socially\, politically\, and legally during a modern era of intense immigration enforcement. Studying the experiences of green card holders\, refugees\, military service members\, temporary workers\, international students\, and undocumented immigrants uncovers the common plight that underlies their distinctions: limited legal status breeds a sense of citizenship insecurity for all immigrants that inhibits their full integration into society. Bringing together theories of citizenship with empirical data on integration and analysis of contemporary policy\, Chen builds a case that formal citizenship status matters more than ever during times of enforcement and argues for constructing pathways to citizenship that enhance both formal and substantive equality of immigrants. \nMing Hsu Chen is an Associate Professor of Law & Political Science at the University of Colorado in Boulder. She is the Faculty-Director of the Immigration and Citizenship Law Program and holds faculty affiliations in Political Science and Ethnic Studies. Professor Chen brings an interdisciplinary perspective to the study of citizenship\, immigration\, and the administrative state and teaches courses in each of these subjects. Her book\, Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era (Stanford University Press\, August 2000) is the subject of a TEDx talk (A New Way to Think about Citizenship\, December 2020.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: COVID-19 and the Law: COVID-19’s Legacy & Evolving Legal Doctrines
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 2 for the first installment of the COVID-19 and the Law: Disruption\, Impact\, and Legacy Seminar Series. \nThis seminar series will consider the ethical\, legal\, regulatory\, and broader social and institutional impacts that COVID-19 has had\, as well as the longer-lasting effects it may have on our society. This first seminar in the series will focus on the interaction of COVID-19 with health law and policy. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all aspects of life in the United States and around the world\, disrupting the global economy as well as countless institutions. The issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic present a critical juncture for the U.S. and other countries around the world. Our actions now have the potential to shape responses to future pandemics\, and to ensure institutions serve all of our populations. \nHow have our institutions\, including the structure of our health care system and its attendant regulations\, affected the evolution of the pandemic? What lasting changes have legal responses to COVID-19 introduced? Which institutions and intersectional issues have worsened or complicated the impact of and response to the pandemic? Join us for a critical reflection on changes the pandemic has introduced and their anticipated legacy. \nJoin the conversation or submit questions on Twitter at @PetrieFlom using #COVIDLawPolicy.

SUMMARY:Global Mobility and the Threat of Pandemics: Evidence from Three Centuries
DESCRIPTION:Countries restrict the overall extent of international travel and migration to balance the expected costs and benefits of mobility. Given the ever-present threat of new\, future pandemics\, how should permanent restrictions on mobility respond? A simple theoretical framework predicts that reduced exposure to pre-pandemic international mobility causes a slightly slower arrival of the pathogen. A standard epidemiological model predicts no decrease in the harm of the pathogen if travel ceases thereafter and only a slight decrease in the harm (for plausible parameters) if travel does not cease.

SUMMARY:Critical Public Health Questions for 2021: Closing (and Reopening) Schools and Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic—the greatest public health challenge in more than a century—has forced many hard decisions. The partial or full closures of schools nationwide have become a flashpoint with very strong opinions on both sides and have reinforced the critical role that schools play in supporting the health of our children. As we move toward reopening schools and other workplaces\, it is clear that buildings themselves are vital to the public’s health\, and the need for proper ventilation and air filtering to slow the viral spread has become essential. The lack of “healthy buildings\,” particularly for Black and brown populations\, leaves millions of children and adults vulnerable. In this program\, the participants will discuss disparities and key issues related to school closures\, as well as strategies to enhance the built environment as we move toward reopening our workplaces and schools.

SUMMARY:Online exhibit: A World of Viruses
DESCRIPTION:Virus behavior can have both positive and negative repercussions in the world\, and in our bodies. At this present time the world is coping with a pandemic caused by the infiltration of the airborne virus\, COVID-19. In fact\, viruses are ever present in our world\, occupying nearly all organisms\, and found in virtually every type of habitat. They are also ancient\, predating some of the earliest forms of life. \nThrough this online exhibit\, “A World of Viruses\,” we will learn about how viruses\, the smallest of all microbes\, can take control of the cellular machinery of another living thing. We will explore key Harvard-based research\, informative videos\, and helpful animations about viruses to get a better understanding of how they behave in our world.

SUMMARY:University-wide Seminar: Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People
DESCRIPTION:From a leading experimental social psychologist\, a discussion of “implicit bias\,” and what we can do to outsmart it. Using lab and real-world examples\, Mahzarin Banaji will show how our barely conscious assumptions affect our decisions about others\, especially those unlike ourselves–in age\, gender\, race\, social class\, or even body weight–and what that means for the decisions we make in our work across the University. The good news: knowledge gives us power to do better.\n(Presentation is 90 minutes\, followed by 30 minutes for Q&A.)

SUMMARY:COVID Vaccine Equity: The Impact of Race\, Racism and Mistrust in the Health Care System on Vaccine Hesitancy
DESCRIPTION:As we begin a new year during a global pandemic there are nearly 20.7 million cases of COVID in the U.S. and over 352\,000 people have died from the disease.  A study of selected states and cities with data on COVID-19 deaths by race and ethnicity showed that 34% of deaths were among non-Hispanic Black people\, though this group accounts for only 12% of the total U.S. population.  As a result of the disproportionate impact of the disease on Black\, Latinx\, Native and other communities of color\, efforts are underway in Massachusetts and across the country to ensure the equitable distribution of the COVID 19 vaccine. \nPromisingly\, nationally COVID vaccine hesitancy is improving and now approximately 71% of the public say they are definitely or likely to get vaccinated. Not so promising is that 35% of Black adults say they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated. Over a third of Latinx adults are not confident that the development of a COVID-19 vaccine took their needs into account. Locally\, a MassINC Polling survey\, sponsored by the Museum of Science\, Boston and conducted in partnership with the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers\, found that 38% of White residents say they will take the vaccine “as soon as possible” compared to 28% of Black residents and 22% of Latinx residents. \nThe panelists will explore the why hesitancy exists in these populations and discuss strategies to address hesitancy and increase vaccination rates among the most vulnerable populations. \nModerator: \n\nWanda McClain\, Vice President\, Community Health and Health Equity\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital\n\nPanelists: \n\nPaulette Chandler\, MD\, MPH\, Associate Epidemiologist\, Division of Preventive Medicine\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Assistant Professor of Medicine\, Harvard Medical School\nMichael A. Curry\, Esq.\, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO)\, Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers\nRev. Liz Walker\, Senior Pastor\, Roxbury Presbyterian Church
