Webinar: Navigation practices in times of extended crisis: Preliminary findings from a comparative study
Across different parts of the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to breakdowns and shifts in the social and technical (“sociotechnical”) assemblages on which people rely for food, shelter, work, education, socialisation and more. Individuals have had to acquire information, make decisions and accomplish tasks—such as determining whether and how to seek healthcare or other necessities—amidst changing conditions, fragmented service systems and high levels of uncertainty. This webinar presents preliminary findings from a multi-country qualitative study concerned with how different groups cope during extended periods of crisis.
