10th Garrett Lecture on Urban Issues: Living for the City — Women's Health in 21st-Century Baltimore

Description

From repressive laws and cultural taboos to lower wages and threats of violence, women around the world experience distinct barriers when it comes to accessing the health care they need. Here in Baltimore, some of those same challenges exist, as do opportunities and success stories.

For the 10th Garrett Lecture on Urban Issues, the Evergreen Museum & Library and its partners at 21st Century Cities Initiative, the Johns Hopkins University's Women's Suffrage Centennial, and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing invite you to a virtual discussion of women's health in Baltimore today.

Join a panel of distinguished experts, including Letitia Dzirasa, commissioner of health for Baltimore City; Kamila A. Alexander, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing; and China Boak Terrell, CEO of American Communities Trust, as they parse the pandemic's impact, reckon with the future of reproductive rights, and examine the effects of environmental racism.

The discussion, moderated by Deborah Gross, a professor of psychiatric and mental health nursing at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, will be followed by an audience Q&A.
