Monique McCollum and her colleagues at Univ of Colorado Hospital are hosting their 6th conference online.
They're good folks, thinking about good things and....broad minded - witness they invited me!!!
Preview of my talk
Covid is, what I call, a “concentrated encounter” – a
time of extremely distilled significances. In such times the submerged
fault lines of social inequality now are seen as chasms.
When it comes to how we curate (gatekeep) health information for low health literate folks, how are we not perpetuating a great divide by limiting vocabulary, using stilted sentences, or even forsaking print for pictograms?
- How is there not just a wiff of classism or even racism in how we’ve defined people’s competencies?
- How do we propose the path we’ve taken is going to help level the playing field between experts and all the rest of us?
Hope you can join us. :)
