    A shared agenda for gender and Covid-19 research: Priorities based on broadening engagement in science
    (BMJ Publishing Group, 2023) George, Asha S; Lopes, Claudia A; Vijayasingham, Lavanya
    While the acute and collective crisis from the pandemic is over, an estimated 2.5million people died from COVID-19 in 2022, tens of millions suffer from long COVID and national economies still reel from multiple deprivations exacerbated by the pandemic. Sex and gender biases deeply mark these evolving experiences of COVID-19, impacting the quality of science and effectiveness of the responses deployed. To galvanise change by strengthening evidence-informed inclusion of sex and gender in COVID-19 practice, we led a virtual collaboration to articulate and prioritise gender and COVID-19 research needs. In addition to standard prioritisation surveys, feminist principles mindful of intersectional power dynamics underpinned how we reviewed research gaps, framed research questions and discussed emergent findings.
