This panel discussion will explore the value of an intersectional approach to economics for economic recovery in countries around the world dealing with the consequences of a major public health crisis. We hope to highlight the importance of a gendered analysis in economic policy creation and implementation. At the heart of the discussions will be questions of how economic recovery plans can address inequalities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to a lively and passionate discussion where all participants can share their stories and their own lived experiences.
