SUMMARY:Language Barriers and the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:While language facilitates communication and understanding\, it can also be an obstacle if not used properly. Successful communication in a country such as Qatar\, with multiple languages\, becomes doubly critical in a crisis situation such as COVID-19 because it ensures the health and safety of all. In this lecture\, Dr. Rizwan Ahmad from Qatar University and Dr. Sara Hillman from Texas A&M University at Qatar will discuss their research on the government’s use of languages other than Arabic and English during the COVID-19 awareness campaign in Qatar. Their research shows that the government used up to 12 languages to deliver health information to different language-speaking groups in Qatar\, which helped contain the spread of the virus.\nThe event will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams.\nDate: 2 May 2021 \nTime: 1:00 – 2:00 PM \nLanguage: English \nTarget Audience: Researchers and the general public\nSeats are limited\, please click the button below to register.
