About the Book

Ten country-based case studies explore how responses to the COVID-19 pandemic shaped, and were shaped by, family life. Research with families reveals how they coped with lockdown laws, dealt with worry and got to grips with online work. The book gives an international perspective on a global phenomenon that transformed everyday life for millions.



About the Author :
Katherine Twamley is Professor of Sociology at the UCL Social Research Institute. Humera Iqbal is Associate Professor of Social and Cultural Psychology based at the UCL Social Research Institute. Her work looks at young people and families particularly from migrant and minority groups, social representations, citizenship and identity. Another strand of her research interrogates the influence of culture, nature and the arts on wellbeing and belonging. Humera uses mixed methods, arts and film-based methods in her research. Charlotte Faircloth is Associate Professor in the Social Research Institute at UCL. From sociological and anthropological perspectives, her work has focused on parenting, gender and reproduction using qualitative and cross-cultural methodologies. This research has explored infant feeding, couple relationships, intergenerational relations and, recently, the impact of coronavirus on family life.

Review :

'The book is a marker in the field for thinking about, collaborating and investigating the impact of major upheavals on family lives and relationships in the future. A marker that can usefully be followed by other teams of researchers in the future. The book is also an important historical documentation of our family lives in the time of COVID, one that will inform this and future generations of scholars' reflections, providing insightful understandings of an unprecedented period'
The British Journal of Sociology

'There is much to applaud about this volume.... it is remarkable that the authors were able to create this volume at all. Consider the context in which they undertook this project. It was the spring of 2020 and most academic institutions around the world had closed. No one knew how long the closures would last. It was a scary and uncertain time, as the chapters in this volume attest, and one in which just navigating the day to day challenges of grocery shopping, taking care of children and the elderly, tending to the sick and managing one's nerves was a lot to manage. It was in this chaotic and frightening context that the editors of this volume launched a global research project without ever leaving home. I am impressed by the diverse network of scholars they were able to assemble, the organizational structure and discipline they achieved, and the rich methodological and empirical contributions the project produced.'
