SUMMARY:Pandemic Preparedness and Response: Health Security or Health Equit
 y in a Divided World?
DESCRIPTION:Pandemic Preparedness and Response: Health Security or Health E
 quity in a Divided World?\nAs Canadians emerge from the height of the COVI
 D-19 pandemic\, we are entering a profoundly unequal and divided world cha
 racterized by deepening health and wealth inequities\, political polarizat
 ion\, and new global health challenges arising from the climate crisis and
  other planetary threats. Responding to these in an ethical\, effective ma
 nner will require new forms of global solidarity and a commitment to healt
 h equity that transcends narrowly defined state interests. To make sense o
 f how Canada is and ought to be responding to pandemics and other infectio
 us disease threats in a deeply interconnected and inequitable world\, we m
 ust reassess the tensions\, divisions and systems failures that COVID-19 l
 aid bare\, and ask whether past\, current and proposed responses\, domesti
 cally and globally\, are adequate for producing equitable long-term infect
 ious disease prevention and response strategies.\n\nDr. Suzanne Hindmarch 
 is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Unive
 rsity of New Brunswick. She studies the politics of infectious disease res
 ponse\, focusing on the origins\, impacts and efficacy of the policy and p
 olitical strategies through which infectious disease is addressed at globa
 l\, national and sub-national levels. In particular\, Dr. Hindmarch examin
 es the conditions under which the health of equity-deserving groups is (or
  is not) advanced in infectious disease response\, especially in the conte
 xt of global health security. She also studies the interface of global and
  domestic infectious disease governance\, asking why global infectious dis
 ease response strategies are adopted\, adapted or resisted domestically\, 
 and how states advance domestic priorities via global health governance me
 chanisms.\n\nDr. Hindmarch holds a PhD in political science (Toronto)\, an
  MA in international development studies (Dalhousie) and a BA in political
  science (Alberta). Prior to her academic career she worked in community-b
 ased AIDS organizations and in the Public Health Agency of Canada.
