Abstract

In this study we apply insights adopting Bourdieu's socio-cultural-structuralist approach to conceptualizing and identifying social and economic inequalities resulting from the COVID-19 crisis to BAME women in the UK. Drawing on empirical research with 30 women participants working in the health and care sector the study will aim to highlight the gendered impact and experiences of BAME women of the COVID -19 crisis. The findings will aim to elucidate the gendered social and economic inequalities taking into account the gendered experiences and dispositions of BAME women, including their habitus and the resultant inequalities to generate a number of implications for practice and policy.
