Covid-19: Possibilities for Change
Discussion moderated by Dr Marguerite Schinkel
“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.”
Arundhati Roy, The Pandemic is a Portal, FT
While Covid-19 has had devastating consequences for many, it has also shown that sudden changes in social policy and other areas are possible. For example, possibilities and calls for change have been set out in documents like this and this. In this Sociology Café everyone is very welcome to talk about the changes we have seen and the ways in which positive changes might be sustained or developed throughout the pandemic and after Covid-19 ends.
