Redefining Resilience: Overcoming Social Challenges During and After COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and exacerbated deep-rooted social inequities, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. This edited collection applies a social justice framework to explore the unequal social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on education and employment sectors in Canada and the United Kingdom. Using a social justice lens, the collection highlights the systemic inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis and the lasting effects on well-being, public perception, and societal structures. This collection can help educators, policymakers, and other key stakeholders address ongoing and emerging social inequities.
