The ATLANTIC INSTITUTE, ATLANTIC PROGRAMS and RHODES SCHOLARSHIP are hosting a series of webinars about our world post COVID-19.
While the coronavirus has physically distanced and isolated millions of people, it has more than ever in our life-times, drawn people and organisations together under a common humanity and a profoundly collective commitment to act. In this series of webinars, we turn our imagination to something (k)new where we remember, reflect and shape what our local and global futures might look like post COVID-19.
In this fifth webinar, the speakers explore international perspectives on the racialization of COVID-19, including resistance and reimagining:

(3) DR MERA PENEHIRA, Associate Professor in Indigenous Education, School of Indigenous Graduate Studies, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, New Zealand.
MODERATOR | TANYA CHARLES, Atlantic Fellow for Social and Economic Equity and Senior Fellow Engagement Lead, Atlantic Institute.
