Dear FEAST members,

I’m writing to share with you a new resource for teaching, just out from the Harvard GenderSci Lab, with the hope that you may find it useful in your own teaching and also share with your networks!

The Gender/Sex Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes guide and toolkit is a powerpoint presentation offered for adoption in introductory-level gender studies, feminist science studies, health sciences, and similar courses. It is accompanied by recommended readings and a user guide for instructors.

The teaching toolkit grows out of the GenderSci Lab’s Gender/Sex and COVID-19 Project. The presentation helps students develop a critical and intersectional understanding of sex disparities in COVID-19 outcomes. 

For those who use the tool in class, the Lab is also considering invitations to do 20-minute Q&A sessions to discuss gender/sex disparities in COVID-19 outcomes and the wider work of the Lab with your class, via Zoom. To inquire about availability, please contact us at [log in to unmask].

We hope you will share this tool with your colleagues and networks and consider using it in your classroom.  We welcome your feedback!

Thank you,

Marion
