This week, we'll examine the sources, dynamics, challenges and inventiveness of COVID communications in different settings.  See our growing and iterating shared questions to the left.  During the Collaboration Call, we'll work to refine these questions (by trying to answer them, by thinking through communication dynamics in other disaster contexts, by recalling various theorizations of communication).   To respond to the questions, click on the annotation button here, selecting the question set for  “COVID Communications”. See annotation instructions. 

Take special note of the item below, a briefing document for the Simon Community in the UK (which supports homeless communities there) prepared by Amanda Windle, drawing on discussions in the Transnational Disaster STS COVID-19 Project -- illustrating the potential for moving from collaboration within the project out to various communities of practice. 

All of the items in this digital collection can be annotated using the questions for Reading COVID-19 Commentaries  or for EMIC Reading (for academic texts).  Attach annotations to the item being annotated.  

To work in this digital workspace, you'll need to be a member of the project (apply here) then register through the link in the top right-hand corner here. You'll recieve follow-up emails. Email Kim Fortun (kfortun@uci.edu)
