An up-to-the-moment account of COVID-19 and its aftermath from an interdisciplinary network of transatlantic scholars reporting from Brazil, Colombia, and France.

The case studies presented in Care and Pandemic diagnose problems resulting from the pandemic, hereby revealing socio-demographic dynamics of care labor markets, outlining the impact of online care platforms on the conditions of care work, and providing caring strategies rooted in community solidarity. The authors argue that creating a robust and more resilient care organization requires a comprehensive understanding of why systems failed to build capacity that can absorb external shocks and address structural changes before, during, and after disasters.
