Identifying a problem and narrowing your topic.

You will search about a specific COVID inequality for the main/second part of the digital assignment - so the project needs to be narrow enough in scope that it can be explained in simple language for nonexperts, and it is best if you make your topic about a specific local context, group of affected people, activist campaign, or site of institutional inequality. The topic could be very local like the inequalities in the COVID testing program at UMD, or focus on an institution like a city government's health department response to COVID-19, or it could be on a broader scale like looking at unequal COVID outcomes facing trans people or incarcerated people across locations. But in all cases, you need to find ways of narrowing down your topic by place, demographic, institution, or other factor relating to inequality so that it can be explained succinctly and so that specific ideas for change can be proposed

What aspect of COVID-19 inequalities will you research? Will you look at a specific disparity, such as racial disparities in vaccination, unequal access to medical care, or gendered aspects of care work for COVID patients? Will you instead look at the range of inequalities affecting a specific identity, such as by trying to understand the complex health challenges facing Latinx women who continued in-person work during the pandemic? How can you narrow things so that you can incorporate a local story, experience, or solution? For example, is it possible to identify a particular local area, group of people, or health campaign that you want to focus on?

Please submit an initial list of at least 8 academic books and/or articles that you will consult to develop the project. Please try to find sources that help you ask critical questions about common public narratives about COVID inequality. Does the source you are considering adding to your list address a significant disparity? How did the publication arrive at that information? Does it critically analyze information in ways that are attentive to specific groups or locations you are studying, or does it reiterate less specific national or international data reported in media?
