Join us for A Special Goldstein Lecture on Human Rights: The Right to Health, Equity & the Pursuit of Justice presented by Dr. Nada Fadul in a virtual event on Sept. 23 from 7:00–8:15 P.M.

In this lecture, Dr. Fadul examines how health — as a human right — has not been accessible to everyone. The talk will review the health disparities, both local and global, that were brought to the surface by the COVID-19 pandemic and will consider how racial justice movements worldwide can accelerate health equity programs.

About the Speaker: Dr. Nada Fadul is the Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Education Programs and an Associate Professor, Division of Infectious Diseases, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She is the Medical Director of the UNMC’s Specialty Care Center and her clinical work and research focused on health disparities in HIV. She is a member of several committees in national organizations such as HIVMA and IDSA and has presented her research in national and international meetings. She completed her medical degree from the University of Khartoum-Faculty of Medicine and remains engaged on global health initiatives with Sudan.

This event is sponsored by the UNO Department of Religious Studies; Goldstein Family Community Chair in Human Rights; Goldstein Center for Human Rights.
