B. Gaps of Geo-Political-Socio-Economics (GPSE)
To assess the Gaps of GPSE, we consider how these contextual layers – geography, politics, and socio-economics that impact communities differently, might limit a proposed action. The Gaps of GPSE are already well recognized as critical components of ongoing disparities. For example, the GPSE factors constitute ‘social determinants of health;’ they reflect recognized barriers to accessing legal services and equitable remedies; and they associate with exposure to environmental hazards. Thus, when we aspire to take conscious, inclusive action, we want to make sure that we reflect critically upon these components and assess whether our proposed action may unintentionally exclude groups based on GPSE attributes?
