Research project: Pandemic Agency and Justice: A Socio-Political Analysis of the Global COVID-19 Pandemic
Social or global crises provide a unique opportunity to examine the “fit” of theory and reality. The purpose in this project is to develop a normative framework that reconciles the actions of agents (global, national, community and individual) during the COVID pandemic, with prevailing social and global justice theories. This two-pronged assessment – examining responses to the pandemic through the lens of theory, and examining dominant theories through the lens of actions – could provide a means to assess the adequacy of (or lack thereof), of extant social and global justice theories.
