COVID-19: Individual Rights and Community Responsibilities provides
critical insights into the tensions between individual rights and
community responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions
about mandates, lockdowns, priorities, and broader questions
related to neighborly responsibilities and human rights have been
central to debates about how to confront the pandemic. The
scholarship presented in this volume adds to those debates by
confronting such issues as the role of social media in spreading
misinformation, mask mandates, pandemic politics, and the very
ethos of what is meant by human and individual rights. Drawing on
the expertise of scholars from around the world, the work presented
here represents a remarkable diversity and quality of impassioned
scholarship on the impact of COVID-19 and is a timely and critical
advance in knowledge related to the pandemic.
Pandemic Pedagogies: Teaching and Learning during the COVID-19
Pandemic provides critical insights into the impact of the pandemic
on the education system, pedagogical approaches, and educational
inequalities. Education is often touted as the best way to promote
social mobility and produce informed members of society. The
pandemic has significantly threatened those goals by temporarily
disrupting education and exacerbating disparities in the education
system. The scholarship in this volume takes a closer look at many
of the issues at the heart of the educational process including
teacher self-efficacy, the gendered and racialized impacts of the
pandemic on education, school closures, and institutional
responses. Drawing on the expertise of scholars from around the
world, the work presented here represents a remarkable diversity
and quality of impassioned scholarship on the impact of COVID-19
and is a timely and critical advance in knowledge related to the
pandemic.
COVID-19: Social Inequalities and Human Possibilities examines the
unequal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals,
communities, and countries, a fact seldom acknowledged and often
suppressed or invisible. Taking a global approach, this book
demonstrates how the impact of the pandemic has differed as a
result of social inequalities, such as economic development, social
class, race and ethnicity, sex and gener, age, and access to health
care and education. Economic inequality between and within nations
has significantly contributed to the chances of individuals
contracting and dying from the virus. Developing nations with weak
health care systems, workers whose jobs cannot be performed
remotely, the differences between those with and without access to
soap and water to wash their hands, or the ability to practice
physical distancing also account for the unequal impact of the
virus. Racial and ethnic minorities experience higher death rates
from the virus, which has also unequally affected indigenous
peoples and urban and foreign migrants around the world. Inequality
is also embedded in national and international responses to the
pandemic, as giving and receiving aid is often impacted by
inequalities of demographic and national power and influence,
resulting in national and global competition rather than the
collaboration needed to end the pandemic. Along with the other
titles in Routledge's COVID-19 Pandemic series, this book
represents a timely and critical advance in knowledge related to
what many believe to be the greatest threat to global ways of being
in more than a century. COVID-19: Social Inequalities and Human
Possibilities is therefore indispensable for academics,
researchers, and students as well as activists and policy makers
interested in understanding the social impact of the COVID-19
pandemic and eradicating the inequalities it has exacerbated.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the associated COVID-19 pandemic, is
perhaps the greatest threat to life, and lifestyles, the world has
known in more than a century. The scholarship included here
provides critical insights into the ethics and ideologies,
inequalities, and changed social understandings that lie at the
heart of this pandemic. This volume maps out the ways in which the
pandemic has impacted (most often disproportionately) societies,
the successes and failures of means used to combat the virus, and
the considerations and future possibilities - both positive and
negative - that lie ahead. While the pandemic has brought humanity
together in some noteworthy ways, it has also laid bare many of the
systemic inequalities that lie at the foundation of our global
society. This volume is a significant step toward better
understanding these impacts. The work presented here represents a
remarkable diversity and quality of impassioned scholarship and is
a timely and critical advance in knowledge related to the pandemic.
This volume and its companion, COVID-19: Volume II: Social
Consequences and Cultural Adaptations, are the result of the
collaboration of more than 50 of the leading social scientists from
across five continents. The breadth and depth of the scholarship is
matched only by the intellectual and global scope of the
contributors themselves. The insights presented here have much to
offer not just to an understanding of the ongoing world of
COVID-19, but also to helping us (re-) build, and better shape, the
world beyond.

COVID-19: Cultural Change and Institutional Adaptations provides
critical insights into the impact of the pandemic on the
relationship between cultures and institutions. The scholarship
presented in this volume examines such important issues as the
impact on health-care workers, changes in the interaction order,
linguistic access, social stigma, policing, new understandings of
social class, and the role of misinformation. Brought together,
these insights can help us better understand both the micro- and
macrochanges that have been brought about by the pandemic. Drawing
on the expertise of scholars from around the world, the work
presented here represents a remarkable diversity and quality of
impassioned scholarship on the impact of COVID-19 and is a timely

This volume seeks to explore contemporary trans lives in a world
that is both global and increasingly globalizing, examining the
nuances of the rights, identities, and politics that make up the
varied spectrum of what has come to be included under the largely
Western imposed label of "trans". Trans identities and rights have
become increasingly prominent in the social imagination in recent
years, and in a growing number of locales have also become hot
button political issues. As trans individuals are demanding, and
gaining, their rights, these debates are bringing issues of trans
lives to the forefront of politics and into social discussions in
nearly every country in the world today. In a series of essays
covering the key themes of Identities, Rights, and Politics, this
interdisciplinary collection presents an international range of
topics spanning human rights and asylum seekers, to the Hijras of
South Asia, and gender-affirming surgeries, all placing trans lives
in a global(ized) context. This is an important contribution from a
diverse group of established and emerging scholars seeking to
position trans and transgender research in a global framework. It
will be of key interest to researchers in Trans Studies, Gender
Studies, Sexuality Studies, Cultural and Media Studies, Sociology,
Politics, and Anthropology and for introductory courses in gender
and LGBT issues.
COVID-19: Surviving a Pandemic provides critical insights into
survival strategies employed by communities and individuals around
the world during the pandemic. A central question since this
pandemic began has been how to survive it. That question has
applied not just to staying alive, but also to staying healthy,
both physically and mentally. Survival is certainly key, but
surviving, and what that means, is also critical. The scholarship
included in this volume will take a closer look at what it means to
survive by addressing such issues as the importance of ethnicity in
vaccine uptake, the gendered and racialized impacts of the
pandemic, the impact on those with disabilities, questions of food
security, and what it means to grieve. Drawing on the expertise of
scholars from around the world, the work presented here represents
a remarkable diversity and quality of impassioned scholarship on
the impact of COVID-19 and is a timely and critical advance in
knowledge related to the pandemic.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, commonly referred to as COVID-19, is perhaps
the greatest threat to life, and lifestyles, around the world in
more than a century. Although there is little global agreement on
many issues related to the virus, there is widespread agreement
that the actual number of cases - both of those infected and of
those who have died as a result of infection - is certainly much
higher than official numbers suggest. The impact of the virus,
however, has spread well beyond the realm of the medical, also
heavily impacting social, cultural, economic, political, and
quotidian ways of living for nearly every human being on the
planet. The two edited volumes in this set contribute to a broader
understanding of the impact COVID-19 is having, and will have, on
our understandings, efforts, and decisions of the future of global
society.

The role of gender in the Middle East and North Africa is widely
discussed-but often little understood. Seeking to close that gap,
the authors of this comprehensive study explore a wide range of
issues related to gender in the region as they have been unfolding
since the Arab Spring.
