This edited volume examines how COVID-19 impacted political inequality, social inequality, and the wellbeing of people in the United States. Various theories, methods, outcomes, and potential solutions are discussed to create a cross-discipline narrative on this topic.
The Impacts of COVID-19 on Political Dynamics, Social Inequality, and the Wellbeing of Americans examines the impacts of COVID-19 on political inequality, social inequality, and life changes of Americans. Topics include impacts of COVID-19 on the poor, differences in media responses to previous influenza versus COVID-19 pandemics, the intersection of race, class, and gender specific to this event, gender and changes in occupational loss, specific impacts on college students, and ways in which technological changes integrated with COVID-19. The contributors argue that COVID-19 made political and social inequality worse and affected various groups of Americans differently. This edited volume discusses mechanisms and rationales for why this is the case and offers potential solutions to instances of accelerating inequities in America.

Geoffrey L. Wood is associate professor of sociology and director of the Center for Applied Research (CFAR) at University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.
