The social, cultural and economic impacts of the pandemic on ethnic and racialised groups in the UK

新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）大流行让英国现有的种族不平等模式变得更加突出，突显出少数民族和种族化社区的脆弱性，不仅表现在健康状况不佳方面，而且表现在一系列社会和经济领域。自2012年以来，种族动态中心（CODE）率先对种族不平等进行了创新，政策相关和有影响力的多学科和混合方法的社会研究。在这一跟踪记录的基础上，并在对这一流行病的新研究的基础上，该方案将在英国退欧、经济衰退和黑人生命问题抗议活动后对种族不平等的认识提高以及种族主义和反种族主义活动兴起的背景下，研究危机对族裔和种族化的人和社区的影响。该方案为随着疫情的发展而被强调为关切的关键政策领域提供了新的见解：健康不平等和人口老龄化;住房和福利;教育、就业和治安;文化政治、行动主义和复原力。这些项目采用创新的定量和定性方法，从家庭和社区（微观）、体制（中观）到经济和人口变化（宏观）等多个层面审查新出现的族裔不平等形式。该方案包括工作包，其中使用一项调查和2021年新的人口普查数据，以探讨与大流行病有关的种族和族裔弱势的新模式。它还将跟踪新冠肺炎对种族化群体身心健康的影响，重点关注老年人和弱势移民社区。这项工作将找出我们在理解种族化群体和少数民族对新冠肺炎的脆弱性方面存在的差距，并确定填补这些差距的途径，包括将数据与收集新数据的需求联系起来。工作包将探讨紧缩政策和新冠肺炎对特定地区住房不平等的影响，并追踪对劳动力市场不平等的影响及其在教育方面的路径。将探讨算法在教育和警务中的应用。此外，亦会在新形式的社区及政治活动的背景下，审视疫情后纪念及哀悼的性质。这些项目突出了种族与移民和公民身份分歧的交叉;性别、宗教和年龄的作用;地方/社区、区域、国家以下和国家一级的差异;少数民族与关键机构的接触以及对这些机构的信任。该计划将与主要的公共和私营部门，政府和非政府组织合作，以最大限度地扩大其工作的范围和影响。这将包括一个突出研究的活动计划，继续进行Code covid简报系列，并通过主流媒体、博客和网站在社交媒体上进行传播。

The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown existing patterns of ethnic inequality in Britain into sharp relief, highlighting the vulnerability of ethnic and racialized communities not only in terms of poor health, but across a range of social and economic arenas. The Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) has pioneered innovative, policy relevant and impactful multi-disciplinary and mixed-methods social research on ethnic inequality since 2012. Building on this track record, and on new research on the pandemic, the programme will examine the impact of the crisis on ethnic and racialized people and communities, in the context of Brexit, an economic downturn and the increased awareness of racial inequality in the wake of the Black Lives Matters protests, and the rise of racist and anti-racist activism. The programme offers new insights into key policy areas highlighted as concerns as the pandemic has progressed: health inequalities and ageing populations; housing and welfare; education, employment and policing; cultural politics, activism and resilience. The projects employ innovative quantitative and qualitative methods to examine emergent forms of ethnic inequality at multiple scales, from the household and community (micro), institutional (meso), to economic and demographic change (macro). The programme includes work packages which use a survey and the new 2021 census data to explore emerging patterns of racial and ethnic disadvantage related to the pandemic. It will also track the impact of Covid-19 on both physical and mental health of racialized groups, with a focus on older and vulnerable migrant communities. This work will identify gaps in our understanding of the vulnerability of racialized groups and ethnic minorities to Covid-19 and identify routes to filling these gaps, including linking data and the need for the collection of new data. Work packages will explore the impact of austerity and Covid-19 on housing inequalities in specific places as well as tracing the impact on labour market inequalities and their routes in education. The use of algorithms in education and policing will be explored. There will also be examination of the nature of memorialising and mourning in the wake of the pandemic in the context of new forms of community and political activism. The projects foreground the intersection of ethnicity with divisions around migration and citizenship status; the role of gender, religion and age; local/community, regional, sub-national and national level differences; the engagement of ethnic minorities with key institutions and trust in these institutions. The programme will work in partnership with key public and private sector, government and NGO organisations to maximise the reach and impact of its work. This will include a programme of events highlighting the research, continuation of the CoDE covid briefings series and communication on social media, through mainstream media, and in blogs and the website.
