Abstract

In line with focus of the project ?Misrecognising Minorities in Europe. Challenges to Integration and Security (MisMiE)?, the applicants are interested to see whether misrecognition experienced by minorities in Europe, particularly Muslims in Western Europe and Roma people in Eastern Europe, are specifically affected in the COVID 19 pandemic context and whether these bear upon trust in the authorities and adherence to official measures to contain the pandemic. Through shedding light on whether particular groups have specific difficulties to comply with the provisions of the strategy, as they are facing misrecognition, discrimination, and harsher economic and financial conditions, the project will promote a better pandemic containment strategy and a reduction of the impact of this pandemic on marginalised and vulnerable people in society.
