The State of the Science on SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19
When the Covid-19 pandemic began in early 2020, little was
known about the novel coronavirus. During the course of the
pandemic, scientific knowledge about the coronavirus has
expanded. This CE class will review the state of the science
regarding SARS-CoV-2 and infection control measures.
We will focus on the scientific findings important for nurses
and their advocacy for safe working conditions and safe
patient care.
Fighting the Monopoly Epidemic
From hospitals to health insurance to pharmaceuticals,
today's health care industries are increasingly dominated
by monopolies. This class will explore the causes and effects
of corporate consolidation and market concentration; how
monopoly power in health care and other parts of the
economy threatens the health and well-being of nurses,
patients, and our communities; and what nurses can do
to fight the monopoly epidemic.
Covid-19 and the Crisis of Care Work
Covid-19 has revealed how care work is both essential to
our society and yet severely devalued under capitalism.
This course will explore the central role of care work in our
society, how and why this work is gendered and racialized,
and the ways in which care work and care provisions,
particularly health care, have been cheapened and
dismantled. We will consider how the devaluation of care
magnified the impact of Covid-19 and how the pandemic
is being exploited to expand this devaluation and further
erode public health. Finally, we will consider the
opportunities the current crisis offers for envisioning
and creating a world based on care rather than profit.
