YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"We have the opportunity to support changes that will benefit those in the community who experience the most inequity." Amy Bestman
Inequality and inequity are two important principles when we think about health. While some differences are inevitable, inequity is caused by avoidable differences, and these differences arise from the social conditions people are born into, work, or live in.

What can we learn while we are apart? Short talks from isolation.
In a year that has tested our resolve, and has seen our lives change profoundly, UNSW researchers reflect on the lessons we can learn from our socially distanced world.
If we take heed of these lessons, can we improve our lives for the better and hold onto the things we value most? These lessons can be the silver lining to all this disruption – and can help us thrive, not merely survive in challenging times.
In this series, hear from nine UNSW researchers as they explore what we can learn during this time of isolation and change.
A UNSW Centre for Ideas and Grand Challenges program collaboration.
