In response to

Where are you situated as COVID-19 plays out? What backstories shape your engagement with COVID-19? How can you be contacted? What questions and settings are you especially interested in following?

I live in İzmir, Turkey, and am assistant professor in the Division of Urbanization and Environmental Problems at the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at İzmir Katip Çelebi University. I am also part of an STS Research Network in Turkey – IstanbuLab. I can be reached at duygukasdogan@gmail.com

I have been involved in the Transnational STS Working Group. I am interested in fostering transnational organizational capacities in response to disasters.

I am especially interested in the following questions:

How is COVID-19 coordinational capacity in different settings described, evaluated and explained?
How are governments - in different settings, at different scales - sharing COVID-19 information?
How is COVID-19 knowledge and expertise moving across national borders?
How is the aftermath of COVID-19 crisis being imagined in different settings? How is this shaping beliefs, practices, and policies?
