Abstract
The pandemic exposed economic vulnerabilities in society. As businesses and college campuses shut down, lines at food pantries and other community food giveaways stretched for miles. College students had to figure out how to obtain food and negotiate other financial obligations. This study examines the food security of college students before and after the initial months of the pandemic, and how strengthening the social safety net stabilized food security. Our recommendations illustrate that the strengthened safety net has a food justice orientation and could be made permanent if there was the political and moral will to do so.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
