“…Nevertheless, structural levels were also influenced by individual commitments. In this sense, online meetings and online communities potentially increased the visibility of marginalized groups and influenced policies and structural vulnerability, as shown in a Nigerian article ( Oginni et al, 2021 ). Online presence was connected to less risk and exposure because of not meeting face-to-face.…”

“…Online presence was connected to less risk and exposure because of not meeting face-to-face. Additionally, online meetings had a wider range for meeting with others and increasing the visibility of adversities or harm ( Oginni et al, 2021 ). Thus, individual and community engagements were impacting structures and reduced vulnerability at a structural level.…”

Throughout the pandemic, the media and scholars have widely discussed increasing social inequality and thereby publicly pointed to often hidden and neglected forms of inequality. However, the “newly” arisen awareness has not yet been put into action to reduce this inequality. Dealing with social inequality implies exploring and confronting social privileges, which are often seen as the other side of inequality. These social constructs, inequality and privilege, are often discussed in light of vulnerability and resilience. This is particularly important in the context of the worldwide coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and efforts to end the pandemic, as both constructs are discussed regarding access to healthcare, vaccination, and education and knowledge, misinformation, social resources, economic resources, and so forth. Minority and/or marginalized groups may be particularly vulnerable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, resilience factors in these groups may be neglected and underreported. This narrative review aims at illustrating the specific and intertwined aspects of resilience and vulnerability in minority and/or marginalized groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this, we use an intersectional lens based on recommendations made by Moradi and Grzanka. A total of 48 articles were included in the narrative review. Most of them were commentaries focusing on social inequality, vulnerability, and/or resilience. Based on the dissection of articles at structural, systemic, and individual levels, we propose three hypothesis on vulnerability and resilience in minority and marginalized individuals and groups: (1) social inequality must be considered at a global level; inequality at a global level translates into a vulnerable context for an individual; (2) vulnerability is historically situated: vulnerability (experienced during the pandemic) is maintained and reinforced by history; (3) strength through collective (historical) hardship: vulnerability is not the opposite of resilience but may serve as an aspect of resilience. The conclusions drawn from this review show that we need to include diverse voices to advance concepts, such as vulnerability and resilience, in minority and marginalized groups. Additionally, these concepts are not necessarily in opposition to each other, but vulnerability should be understood as an integral part of resilience.

“…To date, a few published studies have explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LGBTQ individuals. Scholarship has explored the impact of COVID-19 on LGBT people in Chile (Barrientos et al, 2021) and Nigeria (Oginni et al, 2021), how LGBT youth and emerging adults found support during the COVID-19 pandemic (Fish et al, 2020; Woznicki et al, 2020), LGBTQ palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic (Rosa et al, 2020), mental health needs and psychological distress of LGBT youth and college students (Gonzales et al, 2020; Gilbert et al, 2020; Hawke et al, 2021; Hunt et al, 2021), the role of internalized stigma in predicting protective health behaviors (Solomon et al, 2021), the perceived threat of COVID-19 with sexual minority women (Potter et al, 2020), and sleep disturbances of sexual minority men during the COVID-19 pandemic (Millar et al, 2020).…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has disproportionately negatively affected the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community, a group who faces identity-based marginalization in society. LGBTQ resilience narratives are important in buffering against the negative impact of minority stress, but little is known about how LGBTQ people have been resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current research addresses this gap in the literature. Participants included 129 LGBTQ individuals who shared how they have been resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed three COVID-19-specific resilience themes, including: (1) Previous preparation fostered resilience, (2) Radical acceptance as resilience, and (3) Resilience through providing support and building community. Discussion explores how psychologists can work with LGBTQ people to identify and cultivate resilience narratives focused on self-love, self-acceptance, radical acceptance, and community resilience. Public Significance StatementResilience narratives are important for all people but are particularly important for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) people who face identity-based harassment, rejection, and societal stigmatization. LGBTQ participants shared their resilience narratives and identified how previous preparation fostered resilience during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, radical acceptance was a source of resilience, and resilience was seen through providing support and building community with other LGBTQ individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…ECAs face different forms of disadvantages in academia based on intersecting characteristics, such as gender, race, age, childcare and other caring roles, disability, reproductive labour, income, and nationality (Thwaites and Pressland 2016;Bosanquet 2017;Caretta et al 2018;Bono, De Craene, and Kenis 2019;Webster and Caretta 2019; Briscoe-Palmer and Mattocks 2020; Hughes 2021). On top of this, students and staff from marginalised communities have also been disproportionately hit by COVID-19: from the health inequalities experienced by racialised minorities (Anyane-Yeboa, Sato, and Sakuraba 2020), to the uneven impact of isolation on migrants and LGBT+ communities (Chen et al 2020;Oginni, Okanlawon, and Ogunbajo 2021). The unfolding financial impacts of the pandemic are having disproportionate effects on the most precarious workers (Woolston 2020b(Woolston , 2020c.…”

We are an international collective of Early Career Academics (ECAs) who met throughout 2020 to explore the implications of COVID-19 on precarious academics. With this intervention, our aims are to voice commonly shared experiences and concerns and to reflect on the extent to which the pandemic offers opportunities to redefine Higher Education and research institutions, in a context of ongoing precarity and funding cuts. Specifically, we explore avenues to build solidarity across institutions and geographies, to ensure that the conduct of urban research, and support offered to ECAs, allows for more inclusivity, diversity, security and equitability.*The Urban ECA Collective emerged from a workshop series described in this article which intended to foster international solidarity among self-defined early career academics working within urban research.
