The Disproportionate Impact of COVID-19 on Women

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 | 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Virtual Event

This Women’s History Month event will feature a brief presentation and panel to provide an intersectional look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate impacts on women in the workforce. From their roles as caregivers to frontline workers, women’s career trajectory and overall well-being have been negatively impacted in ways we may not fully understand for some time. There will be intentional focus on both the real impacts that society’s oppressive structures have created while also honoring the brilliance and resilience of women.  There will be time for audience Q&A.

We welcome as our introductory presenter, Keri Koehler, the Executive Director of Women’s Foundation of Greater Saint Louis. 

Our other wonderful panelists include:

  • Neha Navsaria - clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis
  • Matifadza Hiatshwayo Davis, – Infectious Disease physician at the John Cochran VA Medical Center
  • Katherine Goodenberger – 4th year medical student at Washington University School of Medicine
