At the onset of the pandemic, COVID-19 was thought to be the "great equalizer" – affecting the advantaged and disadvantaged alike. As time passed, we came to realize that nothing was far from the truth. Vulnerable populations – the poor, the elderly, racial minorities, and immigrants – bear the brunt of COVID-19 pandemic. We also know that inequalities in fatality and infection rates as well as steps taken to curb the pandemic (e.g., lock-down policies or closing down of the economy) may exacerbate existing inequalities.
The goal of this course is to (a) describe inequalities in infection risk of COVID-19, (b) discuss why these differences emerge, and (c) examine how COVID-19 may be exacerbating existing inequalities.

This course aims to develop insights and skill sets for applied social science research in the field of immigration and immigrant integration. In doing so, the course will draw on sociological and demographic literature on migration and incorporation of immigrants to establish foundational knowledge, including the key theory, concepts, research methods, and facts/trends. Additionally, students will gain “real life” insights from a series of guest lectures by experts/stakeholders, invited from governmental and non-governmental sectors, who will be asked to speak about the nature of their work and the issues that they face in their field. Based on the insights from academic literature and guest lectures, students will then be tasked with identifying a gap in the research and knowledge base, and develop and conduct mini research projects that will address the issues that the stakeholders face.
