| Summary: | Social Structure Adaptation to COVID-19: Impact on
Humanity, edited by Suresh Nanwani and William Loxley,
is a profound exploration of societal shifts prompted by
the global pandemic. Drawing upon the expertise of 27
contributors from 20 countries, the book provides a
comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis of the
pandemic’s effects on critical societal dimensions,
including education, governance, public health, workforce
behaviour, and technology.
By employing a systems analysis approach, the editors
and contributors present a nuanced view of how societies
worldwide navigated one of the most disruptive crises in
modern history. As someone focused on
internationalisation, comparative studies, culture and
identity, organisational development, lifelong learning,
and entrepreneurship education – and a firm believer in
social constructivism – this book resonates deeply with
perspectives that emphasise interconnectedness, cultural
adaptation, and the power of collective learning.
The book is structured into six parts, each examining a
critical sector affected by the pandemic: education, public
policy, workforce behaviour, technology, culture, and
broader societal adaptability. Essays in these sections
provide case studies, reflections, and forward-looking
insights. This organisation enables readers to understand
the interconnectedness of societal systems and the
cascading effects of the pandemic across different sectors. |
