Abstract

ABSTRACT Minoritized groups have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting the need to better understand how they and their interests were (not) represented in the political process during this challenging period. We identify common and unique features of Covid-19 and past crises, and discuss why the pandemic may have represented a moment for change before identifying gaps in past research. Finally, we present seven articles in this Special Issue that analyze the political representation of minoritized groups in politics, the news media and online. This Special Issue brings together a diverse group of scholars using different theoretical approaches, methodologies and data sources. Using interdisciplinary and intersectional perspectives, we shed new light on minoritized people’s representation during Covid-19 across the globe, focusing on how ethnic and racial groups have experienced the pandemic themselves.
