Ann Hui: Shifting the She-Cession

Women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Many have been forced to drop out of the workforce over the past year, with some people calling the COVID-19 economic downturn a she-cession. This downturn impacts racialised women even more. Journalist and author Ann Hui travelled across Canada, visiting Chinese restaurants in small towns from coast to coast to explore this issue, especially as it pertains to minority communities. Hui is a food journalist at The Globe and Mail and the author of Chop Suey Nation and she spoke at The Walrus Talks at Home: Shifting the She-cession
