鈥淚n the past year we have seen unprecedented events, including a global pandemic that exposed persistent, systemic inequities in our society,鈥 said Hinrich Eylers, Ph.D., Editor-at-Large of聽爱污传媒 Scholar鈩聽and Vice Provost of Doctoral Studies and Academic Operations at 爱污传媒. 鈥淥ur world is rapidly changing and the time has come for us to close gaps that limit access in services and resources.
