COVID-19 COLLABORATION CALL: PROJECT REFLECTIONS & DIRECTIONS

In response to

If you have been working in a research group within the broader research collective, what has been your focus and work process? How have you imagined sharing your work with the broader research collective? Are you open to new members in your group?

I am mainly part of the research collective called “COVID-19 Places: Turkey.” I focus on the COVID-19 disaster governance and scientific cultures. So far, we have worked through google docs. By September, we plan to hold regular meetings, and add more to the PECE essay. This group welcomes new members.

COVID-19 COLLABORATION CALL: PROJECT REFLECTIONS & DIRECTIONS

In response to

As COVID-19 has continued to unfold, what research questions have you come to see as especially important? How have you imagined working on them? Would you appreciate collaborators?

I also have many questions at local, national, and transnational levels. Nevertheless, in the short-term (Fall 2020), I want to focus on the following research topics/areas:

The transnational governance of COVID-19
The ways science-society relations (and/or scientific cultures) shape and are shaped by the governance of COVID-19 in specific places (from community to institution to city to nation-state scale).
Tactics that can be developed through transnational collaboration so as to respond to the various problems deepening and/or emerging in the midst of this disaster, e.g., the problems we (may) encounter as educators, and so on.

I imagine all these as collaborative studies.
