Cutting across disciplines from science and technology studies to the arts and humanities, this thought-provoking collection engages with key issues of social exclusion, inequality, power and knowledge in the context of COVID-19. The authors use the crisis as a lens to explore the contours of contemporary societies and lay bare the ways in which orthodox conceptions of the human condition can benefit a privileged few. Highlighting the lived experiences of marginalized groups from around the world, this is a boundary-spanning critical intervention to ongoing debates about the pandemic. It presents new ways of thinking in public policy, culture and the economy, and points the way forward to a more equitable and inclusive human future.

In Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2: What the Coronavirus Pandemic Tells Us about Heroes, author Charles Brookins Taylor Sr. delves into the far-reaching impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having throughout America, and worldwide, and how it affects every aspect of life. Through the combination of observing and dialoguing with heroes from a broad sector of society, he shows how the pandemic highlights these heroes like never before. Taylor draws upon Abraham Maslow’s famous Hierarchy of Needs—physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization—as a tool for understanding the deep desire for heroes who help meet our needs and remind us we’re not alone. In addition, he shows how the want for self-actualization includes a need for spiritual self-actualization, which helps us understand how the spiritual realm transcends the physical realm yet permeates and operate within it. During the coronavirus pandemic, a time when many are experiencing pain, distress, and hardship, causing them to feel hopeless, Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2 encourages us to believe God is ultimately in control and wants us to know all things, the good and bad, work together for the good of those who love him.
