Racializing Reproduction: Maternal Mortality, Asian American Women and COVID-19
Mon 2/26/2024 • 1PM - 3PM PST
Rolfe Hall Room 2125
This talk is part of a larger ethnographic study of medical racism that centers the experiences of pregnant Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has only further exacerbated pre-existing health disparities, which has led to increasing maternal and infant death.
