The Tufts Latin American Committee, the Middle East Research Group (MERG), the Tufts South Asian Regional Committee (SARC), and Tufts European Horizons, will be co-hosting two panel discussions on the challenges and the political implications of the global vaccine rollout.
Panel 1: The Micro Level: Vaccine Rollout and Hurdles to Immunity
This panel features activists and academics who will speak about the various legal, political, and economic dimensions of the Western Sahara conflict. The conflict, which began in 1975, is both one of the world’s oldest and its most ignored and has largely defined Morocco’s relationship with neighboring countries and international actors. The panel experts will provide background information on different aspects of the conflict and engage in conversation around the recent re-escalation of hostilities and US policy decisions under Trump and Biden.
Join the Tufts South Asian Regional Committee for our 2021 interdisciplinary panel on gender, labor and trafficking in South Asia. SARC invites you to a multifaceted discussion ranging from sex work and gendered labor during the Second World War and sex trafficking in the Sundarbans, to organ trafficking in contemporary South Asia.
