Redefining Family Under COVID-19

banner-covid-family

COVID-19 in an inverted disaster. Infrastructure is intact, water is potable, power is running, yet the challenges to the maintenance of social order persist. Where family is often an asset in disaster preparation, survival and recovery, the nature of COVID-19 requires social distance and isolation, as well as the emotional congealing of social kin families into new systems of care. This group studies the lived experiences of such emergent families.
