TU Dresden, Germany, Chair of Macro-Sociology
"Between narratives of ‘crisis as change’ and scenarios of collapse – the possible transformative dynamics of the corona crisis and their gendered dimensions are often described in opposing poles such as pure positive or pure negative consequences. Instead, the international conference Covid, Crisis, Care and Change? aims at raising open questions enabling analysis of empirical reality that avoids reductions in extremes but focuses on paradoxical, conflicting, contradictory and still simultaneous developments and social changes in the social areas of labour, care work and state regulation in their gender dimensions.
The magnitude of the current pandemic for our societies calls for a long-range sociological analysis. On the 18th and 19th March 2021 international scholars from seven countries, including India, Israel, Albania will focus on the interrelation of key social areas such as labour, care and state regulation out of a gender perspective to access this complex empirical phenomenon."
