"unCoVer" is a project dedicated to amplifying the voices of those who are affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in and beyond China. By translating and producing contents of personal narratives, interviews and opinion pieces, we hope to promote awareness and solidarity across national and cultural borders. You can find us on Facebook, Instagram and Medium by searching “uncover.2020”. We are also on Wechat with the name “unCoVer疫中人’. Our website is https://uncoverinitiative.home.blog/

In this very first episode of “unCoVer”, we present to you a conversation that took place on the 2020 International Women’s Day. On the evening of March 8, the Office of Diversity Initiatives of Shanghai New York University (NYU Shanghai) organized an online panel discussion, “Women in the Time of Coronavirus: Action, Contribution and Media Representation.” Guest panelists are Alex Li, editor-in-chief of BiedeGirls; Sakura Chan, founder of GirlSUP Shanghai; and Jing Wang, a postdoctoral fellow at NYU Shanghai. Along with Joyce Tan, moderator of the discussion, the three panelists shared their observations and thoughts on the COVID-19 outbreak through the lens of gender. Starting the neglected needs of female medical workers, the panelists had a discussion on gender culture, media representation, and civil society. They also talked about the projects they initiated during the outbreak, and addressed other social issues that intersect with gender.
