Lessons from Lockdown
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic our academics have written about the issues the pandemic has highlighted and suggested policy messages to address them. Our Lessons from Lockdown digital collections capture these articles at different intervals in time.
Lessons from Lockdown: Analysis and recommendations for the future, published in August 2020, collates a series of research articles from the first 100 days of lockdown, and puts forward policy solutions from leading academics to help address some of the most pressing challenges likely to be faced in a post-COVID world. Alongside the main collection, we have three themed collections, which focus on key workers, urban opportunities and digital transformations.
Since Summer 2020, our academics have continued to write about the issues the pandemic has highlighted and the policy messages this research highlights. To coincide with the anniversary of the WHO announcement of COVID-19 as a pandemic, we published One Year On: Lessons from lockdown, to bring together the pieces published in the previous seven months.
