In this paper we ask the question “inequality of what” to examine the multiple inequalities revealed under the covid-19 pandemic. An intersectional perspective is adopted from feminist studies to highlight the intersection and entanglement between digital technology, structural stratifications and the ingrained tendency of ‘othering’ in societies. As part of a future research agenda, we propose that IS research should move beyond simplistic notions of digital divisions to examine digital technology as implicated in complex and intersectional systems of power, and improve our sensitivity to the positionality of individuals and groups within social orders. Implications for practice and policy are also discussed, including moving beyond single-axis analysis of digital exclusion.

在本文中，我们提出“什么不平等”问题，以检验在covid-19大流行中揭示的多重不平等现象。女权主义研究采用了交叉视角，以强调数字技术，结构分层与社会“根深蒂固”的根深蒂固的趋势之间的交叉和纠缠。作为未来研究议程的一部分，我们建议信息系统研究应超越简单的数字部门概念，以研究与复杂和交叉的权力体系有关的数字技术，并提高我们对个人和群体在社会秩序中的地位的敏感性。还讨论了对实践和政策的影响，包括超越数字排斥的单轴分析。
