From SARS to Zika, and Ebola to COVID-19, epidemics and pandemics have become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Each outbreak presents new challenges but the responses are often similar.

This important book explores the dimensions, dynamics and implications of emerging pandemic societies. Drawing on ideas from sociology and science and technology studies, it sheds new light on how pandemics are socially produced and, in turn, shape societies in areas such as governance, work and recreation, science and technology, education, and family life. It offers pointers to the future of pandemic societies, including the expansion of technologies of surveillance and control, as well as the prospects of social renewal created by economic and social disruption.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"A vitally important sociological analysis of the biosocial dimensions and ramifications of COVID-19. The result is a powerful demonstration of the need for ongoing social scientific attention to pandemics – and of the distinct contribution that sociology can make to pandemic planning and management." Martyn Pickersgill, University of Edinburgh
