The Institute for Sociology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and The Institute for Research in Social Communication of the Slovak Academy of Sciences organize a multidisciplinary on-line conference dedicated to all aspects of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on societies and individuals.
The global pandemics and the related epidemiological measures present an unprecedented situation impacting not only everyday lives but also the development of individual aspects of societal life and elementary societal structures. These are the times when social sciences and humanities are important in offering their analysis and answers to current problems. The current crisis is a challenge and at the same time an opportunity for development in science.
The ambition of the conference is to exchange scientific knowledge related to the epidemics not only to the scientific community but also to interested public. Presented papers should focus on current knowledge analyzing impacts of the pandemic for the society and the individual. Another important dimension of the conference will be the analysis of historical analogies and experiences with similar situations. While the primary aim of the conference is to present empirical knowledge related to realia in Slovakia the conference is open to analyses of other countries and theoretical papers as well.
Welcome are presentations from various disciplines in social sciences and humanities, primarily but not exclusively from sociology, psychology, ethnology, social anthropology, history, economics, political sciences, pedagogy and law.
Conference languages are Slovak, Czech and English.
