This collection of articles takes up a thematic focus on law, medicine, and bioethics in the contexts of the pandemic environment, including a range of issues concerning democracy, climate change and adaptive governance, structural inequities and health disparities, and social justice. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, contributors to the collection of articles engage with the transformations in psychological and social life being wrought by the pandemic experience, challenging theorizing embedded in neoliberal paradigms that heighten suffering and risks of harm for vulnerable communities, and proposing alternative theoretical frameworks relevant to the global world and global health as radicalized by pandemic threats.
