During the COVID-19 pandemic, women faculty were often expected to take on both increased academic pressures coming from university directive to do more with less time whilst also being forced to take down the brunt of familial care responsibilities during lock-down. Additionally Black and other faculty of color also had pressure to do more work while their communities experienced higher mortality rates from COVID-19 because of racial disparities in healthcare. White male faculty experienced the pandemic as slowing down and thus used this time to develop more professionally - widening the gaps already experienced because of racism and misogyny in academia.
