Politics of Pandemics

Very interdisciplinary, with authors from a wide range of academic backgrounds in the humanities and social sciences (e.g. philosophy, sociology, anthropology, law, political science, history).

Offers five perspectives from the global South and is very global.

Book publication will coincide with the public inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK, which is bound to receive significant media attention both domestically and internationally. One of the first volumes to tackle the cost of lockdowns head-on.

First systemic approach to the perspectives which non-STEM subjects bring to pandemic response and lockdowns.
