Subject: Call for Book Chapters on COVID-19

 
Chapters from all fields of linguistics related to COVID-19 are needed for an
international and interdisciplinary book on "COVID-19 and an Emerging World of
Ad Hoc Geographies". The book will address the causes and impacts of the
coronavirus on populations, economies, politics, institutions and
environments. The contributions will come from those in the humanities and
social/policy science disciplines as well as emerging transdisciplinary fields
including  sustainability, gender, aging, health care and epidemiology,
security, interfaith dialogue, art, music, theater, visualization (cartoons,
websites, film, news reporting), economic and social well-being, law,
borderland studies and even climate change. Professionals in these fields, and
others, have much to contribute to our understanding of the emerging
geographies of human welfare and environmental settings at local and
international scales.

Below are listed the tentative sections and chapters. 
- Introduction
- Origins (myths and realities): From Localization to Globalization
-  Media Coverage and Reporting (print, visual, internet; fake and real news)
- Visualization (photos, tv coverage, cartoons, ghost-scapes, “closed”
signage; govt warnings)
- Mapping the Causes, Effects, Impacts – local and global, “ghost-scapes,”
diffusion, boundaries (personal, community and political), diffusion,
networks, impacts and impacted places and populations, restrictions, delivery
of services, closures, responders, WHO networks, laboratories, manufacturers,
etc.
- Daily Living (children, elderly, the poor, unemployed, distraught,
marginalized, vulnerable)
- Health Care
a. Medical Supplies and Demands (populations and areas)
b. Vaccinations   
c. Social Distancing
d. Immediate and Delayed Response: response health care/medical teams, etc.
e. Priorities and Funding (populations and areas – who gets what?)
- Impacts
a. Daily Life and Living (shopping, working, transport, shopping, on children,
households, health and welfare, streets, restaurants, leisure spaces
b. Institutions- Winners and Losers (regions, places, economies): education,
hospitality, airlines, stock markets, corporations, health, courts, public
welfare
c. Communities: education, faith, health, ethnic, leisure, arts and
entertainment
d. Cancelations of Elections, Events, Sports, Conferences, Religious Services,
Holidays, etc.,
e. Rescheduling: elections, megaevents, surgeries, construction projects
f. Travel Restrictions (local and international) and Tourism
g. Border Security (including refugees)
- Alternate Worlds
a. Teaching and Learning (close and distance-learning; creative alternatives)
b. Parenting and Caregiving
c. Traveling   
d. Shopping
e. Human Behavior (activity spaces, alternative travels, emergency networking,
etc.)
f. Worlds of Silences (the visible (ghost-scapes), workplaces, malls, streets
and the invisible)
- Political, Organizational and Transboundary Responses
a. Initial and Follow-up Worlds: denials and revelations
b. Setting Priorities: preparedness and ill-preparedness
c.    Assistance, Leadership and Messaging: countries, WHO, CDC
d.    Sharing and Cooperating NGOs: professional and volunteer organizations
aiding victims

Chapters (4-6000 words) should be original and due in late 2020/early 2021
after the virus (we hope) has subsided.
For those interested please send a tentative title and short abstract (250
words) via email (stan.brunn at uky.edu) within 4-5 weeks.

If you have any questions or need further information, don't hesitate to
contact me.
