Following the lecture, there will be a response panel and conversation with the audience. Confirmed panelists at this time, Lianne Urada, PhD, MSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, San Diego State University School of Social Work & University of California San Diego, Center on Gender Equity and Health, Division of Infectious Diseases & Global Public Health, Department of Medicine; and Jessie Mills PhD, Chair and Associate Professor, Ethnic Studies, University of San Diego.
