While social and institutional injustices have always existed for these faculty, stressors related to caregiving during a global pandemic have exacerbated inequities related to distribution of care work at home and teaching and caring for students. This amplification of inequities has affected the health and well-being of gender-marginalized faculty, as well as their professional careers. The multi-method qualitative research study described in this report, through a survey and follow-up interviews, examined the impact of caregiving on gender-marginalized faculty at Brandon University during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings from the study illustrate the problematic nature of caregiving for faculty marginalized by gender, the toll it has taken during a global crisis, and the imperative to equitably recognize, value, and compensate such work.  \nThe global COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in the Canadian government declaring a state of emergency in March 2020, has had profound and widespread impacts. Various articles have been written demonstrating the inequitable impacts of the pandemic on those who are systemically disadvantaged, including burdens related to health, finances, isolation, and even loss of life. University faculty at Brandon University (BU) and elsewhere have not been immune to such systemic challenges. One such area of challenge is related to caregiving roles, particularly on the part of gender-marginalized faculty. In a 2021 study, Górska, Kulicka, Staniszewska, and Dobija noted that “the pandemic has acutely made visible the fact that female academics' career progression is jeopardized by factors that have nothing to do with their effort, intellectual skill, and merit, but result from women's primary responsibility for care”(p. 1555) . The same can be said for gender-marginalized faculty at Brandon University, a term we define as all faculty marginalized by gender, including (but not limited to) cis or trans women, and non-binary, trans or Two Spirit individuals.  \nIn the fall of 2020, a subcommittee of the Status of Women Review Committee (SWRC), a joint committee of Brandon University and the Brandon University Faculty Association (BUFA) that is committed to equal opportunities for marginalized genders at the university, embarked upon a study to look at the specific and distinct impacts of the pandemic on gendermarginalized faculty members. Through an online survey followed by individual interviews with BUFA members, gender-marginalized faculty were asked about the impact of the pandemic on their teaching, research and creative practice, caregiving responsibilities, administrative duties, service, vacation/time off, and their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. While we left the definition of caregiving open for study participants to interpret, our analysis aligns broadly with the notion of “carework:” the unequally distributed and gendered work, both unpaid and paid, of caring for family, friends, and others that enables the continuation of life (Misra, 2007) . This paper, which focuses on the pandemic-related impacts of this notion of caregiving, outlines the many ways caring for children, adults, elders, and students amplified existing inequities within academe, affecting the work, personal lives and health of faculty marginalized by gender.  \nRelevant Literature  \nInstitutional inequities for gender-marginalized academics have been cited in literature for some time. For example, gender-marginalized faculty tend to hold fewer high-ranking positions in academic contexts (Acker et al. ,","cbCaivv4zpUlYqCT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivv4zpUlYqCT","pdf",194741,11,"English","# Abstract\n## Relevant Literature","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report examines how caregiving during the COVID-19 pandemic affected gender-marginalized faculty at Brandon University, including impacts on work, well-being, and careers.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the study investigate caregiving impacts?\",\"answer\":\"It used a multi-method qualitative approach, combining an online survey with follow-up individual interviews with Brandon University Faculty Association members.\"},{\"question\":\"How does caregiving relate to inequities for gender-marginalized faculty?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis links caregiving burdens to unequally distributed, gendered care work, showing how pandemic pressures amplified existing inequities across academic duties and personal health.\"}]","Caring During Covid: An Exacerbated Burden for Gender-Marginalized Faculty | PDF",1792080518,28]
