Global development and global justice are powerful terms that need to be examined with a critical lens as they are closely intertwined with equity. In the current context of the pandemic, discussions about personal hygiene may seem straightforward in some parts of the world and less so in others because of the lack of access to clean water and food. Additionally, availability and access to vaccines is far from equitable across the globe. Leadership of global institutions and forums could influence equity in profound ways.  In Part 1 of the Courageous Conversation, speakers will approach the notion of development with a critical lens and focus on rights and basic needs in enabling equity.
