Dr. Steven W. Thrasher will discuss his new book The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll when Inequality and Disease Collide<\/i> at a community event that is part of Emory University\u2019s Center for Faculty Development and Excellence\u2019s university course entitled \u201cPandemic Reflections\u201d led by Dr. Jodie Guest<\/a> (RSPH Professor, Epidemiology). \u201cPandemic Reflections\u201d focuses on HIV\/AIDS and COVID-19 as two ongoing pandemics that have taught us about science and disease while bringing into sharper focus issues surrounding stigma, religion, communication, inequity, and politics (to name a few).<\/p>\n

This community event is open to all and will engage Dr. Thrasher in a conversation with Dr. Guest about his new book The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll when Inequality and Disease Collide.<\/i> As Dr. Michael Eric Dyson suggests, this book puts \u201ca compelling and human face on the millions of people affected by the course viruses like HIV and COVID-19 take in the human population\u2026[he] shows us how race, class, gender, and sexuality combine to help some survive pandemics and even profit from them, while others experience pandemics through their bodies in the form of illness, death, death of loved ones, shame, stigma, and financial insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n
