| Summary |
"Pandemics have quickly become one of the most important subjects of the twenty-first century. This edited volume provides a comparative analysis of the ways in which pandemics are theorized and studied across several disciplines. The book has three objectives: first, to explore the growing diversity of theories and paradigms developed to study pandemics; second, to initiate a multidisciplinary dialogue about the ontological, epistemological, paradigmatic, and normative aspects of studying pandemics across disciplines; and third, to highlight the potential of pandemics to move us towards solutions based on equality and justice. The study of pandemics is not new. Yet despite the volume of research interest in a host of academic fields, scholars rarely talk across the disciplines. This book seeks fill that gap by attempting to bridge disciplinary canyons. Eager to encourage this arena of conversation, the book brings together in a single volume essays by political scientists, environmental scholars, legal scholars, clinical pharmacists, economists, scholars of urban planning, scholars in health and medicine schools, and researchers in business and management"--Publisher's description |
