Infectious Futures: Reflections, Visions, and Worlds Through and Beyond COVID-19 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645428339)

COVID-19 has brought about a rupture in the trajectory of our societies, presenting the world with an unprecedented crisis, but also providing a point of reflection and an opening to imagine and articulate alternative futures. "Infectious Futures: Reflections, Visions, and Worlds Through and Beyond COVID-19" brings together 28 essays, articles, and conversations from leading scholars and thinkers from around the world, who explore the existential questions that COVID-19 confronts us with, and who analyse and imagine how we may navigate this crisis to create preferred futures. This book challenges many of the core assumptions of our era and invites us to see this moment as peculiar and transitory-and ripe with the potential for change. Amid the loss and grief is the possibility for renewal, as new visions emerge and lead to experiments and new pathways.
