Critics Review

“The pandemic is not a page we have turned. It is a force still reshaping our health, politics, and deepest assumptions about what we owe one another. With roots in the Social Science Research Council’s ‘Covid-19 and the Social Sciences’ platform and the question we posed there—what is ‘society after pandemic’?—this remarkable collection is a resounding reply and an indispensable archive of a transformative and still-unfolding moment.” - Alondra Nelson, Institute for Advanced Study

COVID Studies does so much more than think ‘about’ the pandemic and its aftermath. The chapters record moments, concerns, and the uneven ways the pandemic has imprinted on our lives.” - Todd Meyers, McGill University
