Jesse’s presentation is entitled New Understandings: Diversity, Inclusion, and Covid. In this exclusive talk, writer, broadcaster and advocate Jesse Wente will look at the ongoing movements for racial and social justice and what the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed about where we are now, as well as what it has taught us about how we need to move forward. Jesse will look at both the impacts of Covid on how we understand inequalities, as well as how this should inform our solutions and pathways. Wente will discuss the strength of solidarity movements and how they can help on the pathway to reconciliation.
