The AlmaMAC #171: Human Rights-Based Policy with Rida and Sawayra (#170 next week)

scientificanada

This week’s episode is a very special one. For one thing, it’s the triumphant return of Sawayra Owais as host of the AlmaMAC. For another, she speaks to a guest who studies some very important, very timely issues. I’d probably label them as crises really.

Rida is a Masters student at McMaster university. This week Sawayra talks to her about her research which includes assessing science policy decisions from a human rights perspective.

For example: stay at home restrictions and the homeless/unemployed, and child welfare affected by institutional racism.
