COVID-19鈥檚 unequal impacts on marginalized communities demonstrate what happens when we fail to diagnose and treat longstanding systemic disparities. As we head into the second year of the pandemic, it is time for a moral check-up. What COVID Teaches Us gathers campus and community voices to address a different topic each episode with an emphasis on ethical issues at the intersection of COVID-19 and race.
