Covering Coronavirus: Women in Crisis

Join us for a free webinar on the pandemic's economic crisis for women, the disproportionate burdens on women of color, and the short-and long-term consequences of the mass exodus of women from workforce.

Our expert panel includes Maria Aspan of Fortune; Jessica Calarco, Ph.D of Indiana University; and C. Nicole Mason, Ph.D, president and CEO of Institute for Women's Policy Research. They'll explore how the Biden stimulus plan may help women, where it falls short, and what is needed from government and the private sector to advance gender equity in the economic recovery. We'll also talk about the stories that haven't been told, and what to look for as vaccinations pick up, schools reopen, hiring resumes and life inches back to normal.
