Effective community-engaged research is critical for designing and testing solutions to decrease the 10-year life expectancy gap between Black and non-Black residents of Chicago, Illinois. In community listening sessions, the Chicago Chronic Conditions Engagement Network found that community members’ highest priority health issues were social determinants of health and that there is a strong mistrust of research. Conversations with leaders of community organizations addressing social determinants of health suggest strategies to help researchers overcome mistrust and build effective community–research partnerships.

In addition to the Global Engagement Series, the Annual Meeting included a late-breaking panel on “Democracy Under Threat” which, in response to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, examined the longstanding vulnerabilities and emerging threats to democratic systems globally. Using the U.S. crisis as a case study for the themes of election disruption, political polarization, and the spread of misinformation on social media, former ASIL President Sean Murphy engaged in a conversation with Georgetown University School of Law Professor Rosa Brooks about current and historical efforts to destabilize democracies around the world, and the ways in which democratic institutions can resist these threats. Over the last year, the world has faced unprecedented challenges, but we in the international legal community have always risen to the occasion to find creative solutions and new ways of solving crises through a commitment to strong international norms, implementation of human rights, and creating a community of global lawyers dedicated to developing international laws to bring us ever closer together.
