COVID-19 and the Racial Politics of a Pandemic

Fri, October 1, 2:00 to 3:30pm PDT (2:00 to 3:30pm PDT), TBA

Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel

Session Description

The COVID-19 pandemic touched nearly every facet of our lives. Yet, in the United States, the impact of the pandemic was unequal across racial/ethnic groups. This panel interrogates the ways the pandemic shaped and was shaped by the politics of race and ethnicity, from electoral behavior and representation to identity and solidary. How did COVID-19 impact minority voting and elected official behavior? Did anti-Asian rhetoric impact attitudes about and for Asian Americans? How do linked fate and racial identity impact support for COVID policies?
