Understanding the Gendered Impacts of COVID-19 in the Arctic

该奖项支持关于新冠肺炎大流行如何影响北极三个地点政治、经济、社会、公民和个人领域的女性的研究。PI将评估大流行状况对现有性别不平等和政策反应的影响。通过与部落和社区联络员合作，该项目还将评估流行病对阿拉斯加和俄罗斯土著妇女的影响。来自农村和城市的定性和定量数据将确保研究区域的广泛复盖面。将制定一系列跟踪政治、经济、社会和公民性别政策反应的指标，并在网上部署供公众使用。该项目采用个案研究方法，采用混合方法来确定和评估大流行对妇女的影响。定性数据收集包括对阿拉斯加、冰岛和俄罗斯妇女的采访和焦点小组。PI还将分析有关劳动力参与率、收入和就业的量化社会经济数据。研究地点的选择既反映了农村和城市的情况，也包括土著和非土著参与者。更广泛的影响包括对学生的培训和教育，大学课程的开发，向公众和利益相关者组织促进性别平等，以及向全球观众提供研究数据和结果的多语言门户网站。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports research on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected women across political, economic, social, civic and personal domains in three Arctic locations. The PI will assess the effects of pandemic conditions on existing gender inequalities and policy responses. Through collaboration with tribal and community liaisons, the project will also evaluate pandemic impacts on Indigenous women in Alaska and Russia. Qualitative and quantitative data from both rural and urban locations will ensure broad coverage of the study areas. A series of indicators tracking political, economic, social and civic gendered policy responses will be developed and deployed online for public use. This project uses a case study approach, employing mixed methods to identify and evaluate pandemic impacts on women. Qualitative data collection includes interviews and focus groups with women in Alaska, Iceland, and Russia. The PI will also analyze quantitative socioeconomic data on labor force participation, earnings, and employment. Study locations were selected to reflect both rural and urban contexts and to include both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. Broader impacts include training and education of students, development of university curriculum, promotion of gender equality to the public and stakeholder organizations, and a multilingual web portal making the study data and findings available to a global audience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
