Melissa Leach and the Inequalities of COVID-19 - a podcast by International Science Council

"I think there's a real danger that a disproportionate one-size-fits-all lockdown response to COVID is actually going to have bigger health and social and economic impacts down the line (in parts of Africa)."

In this episode of ISC Presents: Global Science, we join Professor Melissa Leach, the Director of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS). She is a Fellow of the British Academy and was awarded a CBE in 2017 for services to social science.

She was the lead social scientist on the UK and WHO Ebola scientific advisory committees, 2014-15, and the lead author, UN Women World Survey on the Role of Women in Economic Development, 2014.
