“…At the same time, we know that global and systemic health inequalities, closure of pre-K childcare facilities and K-12 schools, and the shift to online learning had uneven impacts on political scientists' productivity (Breuning et al 2021;Shalaby, Allam, and Buttorff 2021;Simien and Wallace 2022), making it difficult to disentangle the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic from our editorial transition. First, we considered authors' regional location.…”

On June 1, 2020, a little more than two months after the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 pandemic declaration, our editorial team assumed the leadership of the American Political Science Review (APSR). Although this confluence of events makes it difficult to isolate the pandemic’s effect on new submissions and review processes, this article describes submission and review patterns in the two and a half years before and after the onset of the pandemic and the editorial transition. It describes our preliminary observations regarding what the patterns suggest about the pandemic’s impact on the APSR.1

“…They are called on to carry the normal workload of their peers as well as surpass them in terms of service and mentoring (Brown 2019; Jackson 2019; Nair 2014). Moreover, they are expected to do the work of diversity and inclusion (Simien and Wallace 2022; Sinclair-Chapman 2015). As department head, the first concern is to recognize and openly acknowledge that this is happening.…”

High-impact educational practices benefit undergraduate students in a variety of ways. These opportunities include student–faculty research, study-abroad and study-away programs, and internships, among others. This study focuses on one type of these high-impact practices: research. Research experiences foster student engagement and success, and they especially matter for marginalized and minoritized students, who all too often are underrepresented in these experiences. This article discusses creating, implementing, and experiencing equity-minded research opportunities for students from three perspectives: department head, faculty mentor, and undergraduate participants.

“…To ensure adequate support, institutions must provide a range of teaching methods, grant additional time for publication, and fundamentally enhance working conditions to demonstrate compassion and equity. Offering flexible teaching hours (including evenings, weekends, and compressed courses) and opportunities to share the teaching load between faculty members, and to hire teaching assistants to provide grading and additional curricular support (Simien & Wallace, 2022), would acknowledge the ongoing additional work that is asked of Black womxn faculty. This would also provide more control over time and resources.…”

“…Fourth, financial compensation should be provided as meaningful support to offset inequities in teaching and service expectations. Offering additional compensation for faculty and students with children who teach in the evenings or on the weekends (Simien & Wallace, 2022) would demonstrate a financial commitment and acknowledgment to faculty with caregiving responsibilities outside of the university. Lastly, it is crucial to update tenure and promotion procedures in a manner that recognizes and appreciates the emotional and invisible work that Black womxn faculty members perform daily.…”

The dueling pandemics of COVID-19 and racism brought to light the inequities Black womxn face in higher education in regard to service burdens. We argue Black womxn are overextended and suffering in their careers and lives as a result of this taxation. Methods. A sample of 191 faculty at a predominantly White university (PWI) in the Midwest United States responded to a survey about attitudes towards service obligations, sense of belonging, and community culture, centering on race, ethnicity, and gender as well as the impact of COVID on service obligations. Due to the limited number of Black womxn participants, their characteristics are only reported in the overall data based on their identity or race. Findings. Gender, race, and feeling a part of the community were found to be significant predictors of voluntarily taking on student-centered service related to identity and being asked to take on service related to identity. Black womxn faculty were approximately 78 times more likely than White male faculty to volunteer for identity-based service. Black womxn faculty were approximately 473 times more likely than White male faculty to be asked to participate in identity-based service. The COVID-19 pandemic and racism have had a significant impact on everyone's lives, but it has been especially difficult for BIPOC and Black women. They have faced emotional, spiritual, and physical challenges. Therefore, it is crucial for higher education institutions to create safe spaces where Black women can live their best and most productive lives.
