Alicia Boatswain-Kyte receives SSHRC funds for work with the Cote-des-Neiges Black Community Association on the differential impact of COVID-19 for Black Montrealers

McGill-led project, COVID-19: Advocating for resiliency through understanding the differential impacts of COVID-19 for Black Montrealers, headed by Alicia Boatswain-Kyte, Assistant Professor at the School of Social Work, received funding. In partnership with the Cote-des-Neiges Black Community Association Inc. (CDNBCA), this project aims to empower the Black population in Montreal through an innovative collaboration between non-profit, private and research sectors to effectively advocate and make recommendations for planning and implementation of a response to the intersecting forces of racial disparities, underlying conditions and poverty in the face of the pandemic.

Together, they will conduct a needs assessment to determine the priorities and risks to Black Montrealers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
